echo %@fstype[t:]
report? Do descriptions work as expected on drive C: ?echo %@fstype[t:] returns NTFS, but yes, it does work on local drives. Unfortunately I have a business need for it to work on the network drives, so it looks like TC isn't the right tool for me.At a wild guess, TCC is not detecting that your shared drive is NTFS.

Refunds would be up to Rex, [email protected]. (I'm not an employee, despite the fancy title in the forum.)
But, how do you get rid of NTFS descriptions? The help doesn't mention an easy way (or any way to do one file).
That's what I did. There was also one with a GUID for a name.You could delete the ␅SummaryInformation stream. (You don't have to type that funky character; just type a colon and hit Tab. It'll be the first stream name that filename completion finds.)
