Reasign a drive letter with subst still shows wrong name

Question

I created a .ps1 script to mount a folder to the Drive S. This works fine. When I reassign an other folder it still works but the name in the explorer wont be updated. But the correct folder is assign. (checked this by the available files after reassign).

I did this with the following script and just changed the path when i reassign an other folder:

subst s: /D
subst s: X:\folder1

So when I run the script for the first time to assign TestFolder1 in the explorer this will be shown:

And when I run then the script again but to assign TestFolder2 the TestFolder2 will be assign to S: but the explorer will still show TestFolder1 (just like in the screenshot)

Is there a way to update the name in explorer within the script? Or is this a settings issue?

Answer 1

You are not refreshing anything, you are in effect removing the s: disk with the command subst s: /D. Any Explorer instance that was showing the s: disk will terminate immediately.

Your second subst command creates a new disk, and Explorer knows immediately about it. But this is a new disk that has now to be explored anew.
