Often Connecting And Reconnecting From Different Locations and Drive Letter

[capteelingurdian]

Hi!

I have an external usb drive that I use for daily backups. Also I'm constantly connecting and reconnecting usb drives to the laptop computer that are using my office. And then, disconnecting the computer and taking it on the road.

It seems like recently when I reconnect E seems to get confused? And, the drive letters get mixed up.

This leaves the files in thein the mis-lettered drives unavailable.

please, a few questions.

Am I doing something wrong in terms of settings?

If not, what can I do to prevent this?

So far, what I've done is just to run this code:

Code: Select all

/auto_include_fixed_volumes=1;auto_include_removable_volumes=0;auto_remove_offline_ntfs_volumes=0;auto_include_fixed_refs_volumes=0;auto_include_removable_refs_volumes=0;auto_remove_offline_refs_volumes=0;auto_include_fixed_fat_volumes=0;auto_include_removable_fat_volumes=0;auto_remove_offline_fat_volumes=0;auto_include_remote_volumes=0;auto_remove_offline_remote_volumes=0;volumes=

Sincerely,

Windows is most likely seeing this drive as a brand new volume.

Please set Everything to automatically add new volumes and automatically remove offline volumes:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• Check Automatically include new fixed volumes.
• Check Automatically include new removable volumes.
• Check Automatically remove offline volumes.
• Click OK.
