Here's a little Windows tip I just figured out:

For my CF cards, I use a multi-slot USB reader mounted in a spare
drive bay. Unfortunately, it produces four extra drive letters for
Smartmedia, SD, MemStick, and ??. The biggest problem with these is
the extra space they take up in the MyComputer toolbar.

Eliminating them is easy. Just to to Device Manager, Disk Drives, and
disable the ones you don't need. Just watch what letters disappear as
you disable them to make sure you got the right ones.

To reply, please remove one letter from each side of "@"
