Assigning Letter drive for memory stick

[alexlights]

I have read some old posts but did not really find a good answer.

The lan guys before me started the network drives at E:. So of course when someone plugs in a memory stick, it does not get a letter drive to map. I usually have to log in and map it for them.

I really don't want to be doing this and I don't want to give admin rights to everyone just so they can map the sticks. I do run a log in script. Is there a way to automatically have the letter drives map to an un-used letter?

actually i was just thing in the longin bat file, maybe i could use something like:
net use z://removable disk
or something, but that would only work if they log in with the stick in. I need something that would work anytime of the day.

Thanks,
_ALEX

I would look at remapping your network E: drive.

Help! I've fallen and I can't reach my beer.

My drives start at H:\ and some laptops have SD card readers etc. So when a pen drive is put in it cannot be seen in My computer as H:\ it mapped by logon script.

I plug the drive in once go to disk management, where i can see both, Change drive letter to I:\ on the pen drive.

I only have to do this once.

Not sure why you have to do this more than once. Can you not change your log on script to check and change drives?

i cannot change my H:\ "As it might confuse the users"

i can't change the e: assignment on the network. Software was written to look there for files. It would be allot of work to get off the e: drive.

What happens is, we have several common computers. with 20+ users that might happen to log into them. so 5 computers, 20 users, whats that, 100 different local profiles and of course they have their own computers. Thanks Bill.
