Re^3: USB Drive Letter Assignment in Win32

[ambrus]

Any idea how to find a thumb drive?

You could try putting a file of certain name on the drive and search for that in the root of every drive. Else, you could just find the last valid drive letter, and you have some chance that it is the usb device. Or else you could just find the drive with the smallest capacity (excuding floppies), but that may fail to work later if usb devices get cheaper.

Or create a description file for each drive in its root. And have your scripts at startup that need particular drives scan these files. Or have a first run script that updates an index file so your scripts just read the index to find a resource. This sounds familiar????
