Depending on what's currently connected to a PC, a USB key does not always get the same drive letter. This is an issue for me because I want to use this key as a backup destination, and I thus have to change the path that's used from time to time.
Is it possible to make sure that a specific key always ends up with the same letter?
Answer
If you insert the USB key and then go to the Disk Management Console (right-click '(My) Computer' and select 'Manage' then 'Storage' in the left hand panel). You can then right-click a drive in the right hand panel and select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths...' where you can assign it a specific drive.
Then repeat the process for each USB key.
I'd keep the letters towards the end of the alphabet to avoid conflicts with other removable media.
I go from 'U' upwards...
