Auto assign drive letters
I have had this issue with several Windows XP workstations.
Whenever I plug in a external storage device like a thumb drive, it assigns a drive letter that is already in use by a mapped drive. I can go in and manual change it but the next time I plug it in, it does it again. Any ideas why this happens? How can I fix this? Thanks, Jasper |

Auto assign drive letters
It happens because someone mapped a network drive immediately following
the currently used local drives. If they leave them open and place the network drive at the end of the alphabet starting at Z like Windows places them then the local drive letters will be open.
