Assigned Drive letter for plug and play USB Thumb Drive

[Bobson]

Hi, thank you for everyone's help in advance.

I would like to ask if there is anyway to "hardcode" or "specify" a drive
letter for a plug and play USB thumb drive so that it will appear to a known
"drive letter"?

Thank you very much aagian!

You should be able to do it with the Windows Disk Management tool, if
not see here: http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html

If you are always going to plug it into the same port, then this can be
achieved from 'Manage' (right click 'My Computer' and select 'Manage'). You
can allocate a drive letter from here. Best keep it away from the existing
letters because if it is taken by something else, another letter will be
allocated.

If you plug the drive into another USB port it will be allocated the
selected drive letter *only if* the USB drive has an electronic serial
number (some do - some don't). If it doesn't have a serial number then it
is treated as a newly detected dvice and the plug 'n' pray installation
routine runs and the drive will be allocated the next free drive letter
regardless.

Hi John, Ju.c, and M.I.5,

THank you very much for your response. In fact, I downloaded John (same as
Ju.c's advise) program and tried on the PC, and it works! Amazing! That
really could help on the mapped drive letter conflict issue.

Thank you very much again, and have a great weekend to you all!
