# Assigning permanent location for a USB drive

Windows will assign <span class="caps">USB</span> drives the first available drive letter when they are detected. If you have more that one device, this could cause problems, because drive letters will be different for them if they are not plugged in the same order every time. A workaround to this can be found at

which instead maps the <span class="caps">USB</span> device to a permanent folder on your hard drive.
