New button for drive letter

Posts: 2 · Krabomonstr8 27 May 2021, 19:37

Hello. Can you make a button that allows you to change the drive letter? I mean, not the whole address of the folder, only the letter. When I connect a USB flash drive to a PC, sometimes the letter that the system assigns automatically changes.
Forgive my english :) I can write only through the Google translator.

Isn't it just as easy to click in the location box and change it with your keyboard?
You could also assign the usb to a letter deeper into the alphabet so it isn't likely to have its letter taken by other devices.

Additionally (in Windows), you can (generally) set a quasi-permanent drive letter to a removal device simply by assigning a high enough letter to the device (in Windows Disk Management).

Like my Corsair is K: & my Seagate is S:.

Or you could use a utility like USB Drive Letter Manager for Windows.

Thanks a lot! Both options work for me. And I am ashamed that I did not find it in the help :) I found how to set up filters, but I missed the "letter":) This program is amazing. It's small but so useful!
