I wouldn't bother ... External drive letters can change at a whim.


Your internal drives will all have fixed drive letters, if you can't remember them, use an indelible pen, such as a CDR marker pen, and write on the drive what they are ...

Thanks for that Muckshifter, how do you get the snazzy icon for your hard drive showing amount of space used.

It is the default view in Vista ... I press the Win-Key + E ... as I have always, and that is what I see.

In XP, use the same shortcut keys (windows key + E), right-click the hard drive and select properties.
