CD drive letters change

[Earl Lewis]

I assigned my CD reader and CD writer drive letters Y and Z
respectively. I mount temporary USB drives occasionally and virtual
drives sometimes. I keep finding one of the CD drives assigned to D:
(which is a drive letter I like to keep 'among the missing' and have
Windows (XP) assign to a drive when I plug it in). How do I keep the
CD drive letters from changing?

Did you reboot immediately after changing the drive letters to Y and Z? You
must do so for the change to take permanent hold.

I am having a similar problem.
I have two CD drives and many hard drive partitions.
I normally assign the CD drives the drive letters W and X however recently
(since some windows update I think) X won't keep its setting and on reboot
goes back to the next letter after the hard drive partitions.
How do we fix this? It used to work for me.

Sounds like the Zone Alarm problem:
