    Thought of trying that but was unsure if I'd confuse Windows in the process.
    I have seen cases where Windows throws a wobbler if using A or B for non floppy disks.

    Interestingly, the default floppy reservations still apply.

    No more floppies but we still have the reservations for them. Fits in with the various places to change settings. Change it in one place but it doesn't get changed in the others.

    At least I left things alone so it should be safe.

    Yes automatic for drive letters however you can also edit the Drive letters in Disk Management I do this to keep from them getting confusing I use letters like R or X they will keep this letter after a disconnect and reconnect also. Actually, I use the A an B for my two back up drives since we no longer have any kind of floppy drives any longer
    Hi, thank you very much for the details.
