Thanks but I'm a very average user and all this scripting is going way over my head and frankly, for my 'problem' at hand, it wouldn't be worth my time to even investigate it as setting the drive...

Ok, thanks Denis, will do! ;)

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll go with the fixed drive letter then (using 'Disk Management', right?). Although it's not exactly fail proof as I've had instances in the past where, when the drive...

Hi,
How can I disable the UAC prompt for admin privileges on copy/paste file & folder operations to an external USB drive?
Really annoying to have to click dozens of times a day that UAC prompt...

Hi,
I was doing a backup of a hard drive and to my surprise there were +-400 files that could not be copied because they are encrypted!?

After having had several random freezes shortly after a rather slower than normal startup, followed but sudden shutdowns/restarts if it would stay up & running for a while, as well as BSODs, I...

Thanks, that's certainly interesting to know but in my case it didn't help I'm afraid :huh:

I have exactly the same available options as in the Win10 Defender, i.e. what I explained in my OP.
