Help with either problem will be greatly appreciated.
1. Is there a way to allow a standard (non-admin) account access drive management. Specifically with changing drive letters.
2. Is there any way to force Microsoft to assign the next available drive letter to a USB drive.
Here is the issue. We use multiple thumb drives, one at a time, to capture video. The software is expecting the output file to be on drive F. All is well until we need to plug two of the drives in at the same time. When that happens Microsoft changes the drive letter of the second thumb drive to K. No problem. However, remove all thumb drives, even reboot, and plug that second thumb drive into the computer and it is now drive K as if we used Disk Management to change the drive letter.
Bad Microsoft. Worse, we can't even get into Disk Management to change the drive letter back to F. Currently we must log into the Admin account to fix the issue.
