Hello JJ,

While looking for possibilities to change the driveletter of my usb stick I
came across a reference to an on XP available program named "mountvol". It
can list, delete and link mountpoints to drive letters. I think I'm going
to try that one first (my own code would probably just use the same
functions). :-)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

It's not possible using the volume label, unfortunately. When a file path
is
given, the system uses the volume GUID to refer the volume that were
assigned to a drive letter. Moreover, a FAT/NTFS volume label is
technically
a file, so there's no way to access a file without knowing the volume
location first.

I googled and found a code-example to how to change the drive letter,
which
I have not tested yet, but I already get the feeling that that will bump
into the same "admin activity" restrictions too ...

I'm guessing your Windows user account is not a member of the
Administrators
group?
