USB Drive Letter Manager (USBDLM) version 5.7.5 has been released, offering enhanced control over the assignment of drive letters for USB drives in Windows. This service operates independently of user privileges, eliminating the need for users to have the authority to modify drive letters. It effectively manages conflicts between USB drives and network or local drives associated with the current user.
USBDLM allows users to set default drive letters for USB drives and provides a variety of features, including:
- Checking if a drive letter is already in use by a network share and assigning the next available letter.
- Reserving specific letters to prevent them from being assigned to local drives.
- Assigning letters based on a customizable list of default letters, influenced by factors like the active user, drive type, connection type (USB or FireWire), USB port, volume label, and drive size.
- Allowing for specific USB drive configurations through an INI file stored on the drive itself.
- Temporarily removing drive letters from card readers until a card is inserted.
- Displaying notifications with assigned drive letters.
- Defining autorun events based on various criteria.
Additional information, including a comprehensive help file available online in HTML format, can provide further guidance on using USBDLM.
In summary, USBDLM is a versatile tool for managing USB drive letters in Windows, offering significant customization options and ensuring smooth operation without user intervention. This enhances the user experience and minimizes conflicts, making it particularly useful in environments with multiple USB devices. Future updates may continue to expand its capabilities, improving overall functionality and user convenience
