I am able to change the drive letter in disk management. In fact I can change
any removable drive's letter.

LOL.
A removable drive will take the next open drive letter available.
You can change it to Z : ...when you remove it, and plug it in again...it
will take the next open drive letter.

You are correct but he said the only drives he could change, with disk
management, were hard drives . In fact DVD drives or card readers all can be
changed as well.
That was my point.

I should have stood by my first answer because it is correct. If you assign a
letter to a USB drive, Vista will remember it for that device and use it when
you plug it in again.

That's been my experience every time I plug a removable drive in. The
drive letter always stays the same.

It certainly does that for me. I have several machines (running
various versions of Vista, mostly Business x86 and Ultimate x64) and
they *do* remember the driver letter assignments of USB drives.

It sure does when you assign a drive letter.
You learn something new every other day.
