R-click the drive letter in My Computer and pick "Rename". Call it
whatever you want.


So it does! Applying this newly learnt piece of info, I knocked
together this batch file which makes sense AND works. You
need to change lines 2 and 3 to suit your requirements.
@echo off
echo >"%temp%\ren.vbs" drive = "Q:"
echo >>"%temp%\ren.vbs" NewName = "Shared Drive 2"
echo >>"%temp%\ren.vbs" Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
echo >>"%temp%\ren.vbs" oShell.NameSpace("Q:").Self.Name = NewName
cscript //nologo "%temp%\ren.vbs"
