Renaming my USB drive

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but I couldn't find the info. I recently got a larger capacity thumb drive and moved everything off of the old smaller one onto the new larger capacity one. Nothing is on the old one anymore but I would like to still use it for other things. When I install the old USB drive it still comes up as "PortableApps" and has the little PortableApps logo or icon next to it. I've tried renaming it but it always reverts back to "PortableApps". It's not a big deal but how do I change the name back to what it was, which I believe was just "Lexar", the maker of the drive. Thanks!

Hidden file. Root directory. Edit it. More options than a volume label (longer names, mixed case, reserve characters). There will be the ability to rename in the menu in an upcoming release I just didn't finish the interface in time for 1.0.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
