Default What happens if you exceed drive letters (A thru Z)

I've never done it, and probably never will. But what happens if a
person exceeds the drive letters A thru Z?

For example, I have 7 hard drive partitions. Plus CD drive. Plus A
+ B (for floppies). Thats 10 letters in use.

But some people have 2 CD drives (or DVD).

I know a network can add numerous drive letters from another
computer.

For one thing, you can avoid the issue for a while by using UNC network
names in the form \\servername\sharename to avoid wasting mapped
drive letters. Letters for network shares are almost never needed.
