But not only is it good for changing the drive letters - but also REMOVING drive letters. Like many people I have a computer that has like 100 different card reader slots, most of which I'll never use. If that wasn't bad enough, I also have two Dell 24&amp;quot; monitors that also have card reader slots. Hook it all up to Windows and you wind up with drives F-Q or whatever. So opening up disk management I can remove those drive letters so I don't have to wade through them in &amp;quot;My Computer&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I guess I just haven't managed this many external devices before. &amp;nbsp;I used to have just 1 external USB drive, and now I have 4 USB sticks, 2 external drives, a camcorder, and an audio recorder that all use USB... which exacerbated the problem of renaming my &amp;quot;F&amp;quot; drive and causing headaches with VirtualPC saved state.&lt;/p&gt;
