Dim objShell : Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim objDrive : Set objDrive = objShell.NameSpace("Z:\")
objDrive.Self.Name = "SharedDrive"

NET USE does not have a way to customize the name of the mapped drive.

One common way to perform this task by command lines is to hack the
following Registry key and add the _LabelFromReg string value:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\%key%Here, the %key% variable is the drive letter to be changed.

There is a whole host of ways to make this method work with a batch. You can
importing a .reg file using regedit /c.
