Progressing nicely with my File System Driver but....

NTFSD
1

I seem to be progressing nicely with the file system driver im currently
writing, i’ve had a few problems along the way, but they have been resolved
and fixed.

im at the point where my file system driver can recognise the file system on
a volume during boot up, and then mount the volume successfully.

I have added support for IRP_MJ_QUERY_INFORMATION and
IRP_MJ_QUERY_VOLUME_INFORMATION, so I can get explorer to display the file
system type, volume label, volume size, and the free space remaining.

now here’s the but… When I’ve logged onto Windows XP, and opened up “My
Computer” from the desktop, the volume label with my mounted filesystem
appears to be in blue formatted text… which seems strange because the
ntfs volume labels are in black formatted text.

does anyone know why windows XP is using blue fonts for the volume label, on
my mounted file system?
