Reboot once for the change to take effect. If that does not help, verify the
registry value again to see if you've done it correctly. Alternately, you
can use TweakUI.to automate this, but there is a small catch. See "Tweak UI"
part in my previous post here:

Thanks for the tip, Ramesh (and Keith). I added that little tidbit to my
Mapping Tweak UI XP Registry Guide.

I.e.
Microsoft® Windows® XP Registry Guide

Thanks Ramesh.
I did reboot and I did check the registry value and it was 4.
I then tried TweakUI Option 4 (Never show drive letters) and it didn't do
the trick so I went through every one of the 4 settings (rebooting each
time)
and this time it worked with Option 4.
