I have my music on external storage. I keep losing settings because I get a different drive letter for the USB disk normally when I mount it after other external stores.

Is there a way I can re-assign my disk to always assume drive H: for instance? I use Windows XP professional. Cheers everyone.

Open explorer and create a new folder and share it. Something like Music. Insert the Drive. Open Computer Management and right click on the removable disk. Select Change Drive Letter and Paths. Select Add. Navigate to the Shared folder and Select it. From now on when you insert the Memory stick you will have a copy of the contents in the new share. Just navigate to the new folder.
