Assignment of device letters at startup

In Win98 I have a USB memory stick mapped to F, whereas a CD unit and a CD writer are D and E respectively. But more often than not after system reboot these are exchanged and I find that the USB device has now become E. Is there anything I can do about it?

if you change your hard drive letter does it do the same thing?

Right now I just don't remember how to change the letter, although I've done it more than once in the past.

You can't, well shouldn't, change your system drive letter.

I prefer to set my cdroms to X:, :Z.

I can barely rememeber windows 98 but I think In device manger under the drives properties you can change the assigned drive letter.

Thanks, I've changed the USB device to Z and now there's no problem at reboot. We'll see how it evolves in the future, I'll keep an eye on it.
