Everything 1.5 Alpha • Re: Duplicate drive letters found in the tree. How to remove them?

@paulge
Thatnks for the painstakingly written note.
I had already done the exact thing even in my old laptop (where I had not changed anything).
But somehow all drive letters got messed up.

@Horst
I want to mount my five USB HDDs as removable disks (not fixed).
Further, I want to assign specific drive letters to each drive.

So I created an ini file by running the _edit.ini.cmd file, and then edited the newly created ini file.
I added the following lines just below this section :

; this section is for all other USB drives
[DriveLetters]
Letters=

The new lines are as follows:

DeviceID=USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_WD&PROD_MY_PASSPORT_25E2&REV_4005\<number>
Letters=G

DeviceID=USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_WD&PROD_MY_PASSPORT_25E2&REV_4004\<number>
Letters=F

DeviceID=USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_WD&PROD_MY_PASSPORT_25E2&REV_4005\<number>
Letters=E

DeviceID=USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_WD&PROD_MY_PASSPORT_2626&REV_1031\<number>
Letters=H

DeviceID=USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_WD&PROD_MY_PASSPORT_2627&REV_4010\<number>
Letters=I

(I have replaced the actual number with "<number>")

However, this does not work as expected: When I connect the disks, USBDLM always mounts the disks in the top-down order in the list.
(G -> F -> E -> H -> I).

I tried to read through the help doc, but AFAICT my use case is not described in it.

Please help!
