There must be a way???
We have had Windows based PC's almost forever. Now my system needs to separate to be set up so that each user has their own file AND program storage areas on their own hard drives. I know that each user has file storage allocated in the "My Documents" area on the 'C' drive. But, with 3 drives and 3 users, I'd like to assign a separate drive for each users files and special programs. I would still use the 'C' drive for mainline programs available to all users, but individual programs and games would be stored on "private" drives.
How can this be done? I'm hoping there is just some simple modification to the registry to do exactly what I need??
Please Help.

All you should have to do is right click on each of the three drives and select Rename. The drive letter will still appear to the right of the new name. For example, I refer to my C: drive as Volume_1 and it is displayed in the computer as Volume_1 (C:).
