USB Flash Drive Assignments

When I put a USB flash drive in the USB port, the system
recognizes it, but it assigns a drive that is already
assigned to another device. Then I have to go to disk
management to change the drive before I can use it. Is
there some way to have it automatically go to an unused
drive letter?

Do you happen to have a Network Share mapped as the next
letter and then plugged in your USB Device.

That would cause the USB Device to be assigned the same
drive letter. The workaround would be to not assign a
drive letter to the next available letter, but move it up
a few.
