USB flash drive, fixed drive letters?

How do I configure a flash drive to set itself to a certain drive letter? Either that or how do I configure a computer to set the drive to a specific letter? I need to share a program between computers and the settings need the same drive letter, of course.

diskmgmt.msc works to assign the drive to a letter per computer, a way to configure it on the card's side would be ideal though, some autorun program maybe?

For Win XP: plug in your flash drive; XP will assign a drive letter to
it (let's say G: is assigned to it). Go to Control Panel and click on
Administrative tools. Click on Computer Management. Click on Disk
Management. Right click on the assigned drive of your flash drive (in
our example this is G: Select Change Drive Letter and Paths. Click on
Change. Scroll down and select the Letter you wish to assign to the
Flash Drive. Click on OK.
