Is there a way to permanently map usb memory sticks to B: drive? There must be a reg hack or something.
Thanks

What operating system are you using, I believe you can do this in disk management.

You can change it there in Windows xp, but it is not permanent. It will change to a different letter next time you log in, or if you pull it out and put it back in enough times.

More than likely you will NOT be able to permanetly assign drive B: to your usb memory stick. Drive B: (Along with A: and C:) are assigned by the BIOS.

Drives A: and B: are tradionally reserved for floppy drives. Drive C: is reserved for the first hard drive.
