Easy partitions mounting on Windows

-have C:\ as system and D:\ as data

- that's easy...

any pendrive will be mounted as D:\

- unless they have been pre-assigned a drive letter (1 per letter in Disk Management)

Hello. Windows 10,compared to Win7 has some advantages like build-in ISO mounting or virtual desktops.
But I'm also Linux user and one thing I really like on Linux, that is missing on Windows is easy hdd partition mount/unmount.

Is it possible to do any trick like that:
-have C:\ as system and D:\ as data
-have D:\ disabled, unavailible for all apps, like unassigned letter, but visible in Explorer to preserve file paths
- it can be make accesible by double click
- it can be unmounted with "unmount" command in context menu
- it should working without admin rights. Not only for me

Standard hdd manager is not option, because is admin only, and if I unassign drive letter, any pendrive will be mounted as D:\ and file paths will be ruined.

I do not understand this question - partitions in Windows are not mounted or unmounted. They are either hidden or not by adding or removing drive letters - easy to do in a number of ways.

You can easily create batch files to add or remove drive letters using diskpart commands.

Not 100% certain but I am pretty sure you can only do this with admin rights - it is common for the pc admin user to hide drives so others cannot access them (particularly for child access).

As I said - did you see post #2?? if you use Disk Management to assign a drive letter to that drive (e.g. R) then next time you plug it in it should be assigned R:

However occasionally (perhaps update-related) Windows 'forgets' that assignment.

Ok. This is finished bat script:

Code:

@echo off
REM This script will remove or assign volume letter
cd  d:\
If %ERRORLEVEL%==0 goto :remove else goto :assign
:Assign
  (echo select volume 2 & echo assign letter=d & echo exit)|diskpart & timeout 3 & goto :eof
:Remove
  (echo select volume 2 & echo remove letter=d & echo exit)|diskpart & timeout 3 & goto :eof
