Yes but it is a bit flaky - there are some registry settings to do this - I have a multicard reader the shows up with the drive card types as names (even when there are no cards loaded) such as E:(CF card)

these could be useful for other programs so definitely worth installing.

It should... in the screenshot, G is an Alcohol 120% virtual drive... Try using the Reset button on the drive first, then set it...

Oh, my bad... sorry.  Of course it works. I didn't realize there was an image mounted, so Windows displayed the volume label... Wink

Just updated it, now 1.1, when you change the letter, it shows the current value in the Input box, along with one or two 'under the bonnet' changes Wink

briliant idea and brilliant (and swift) execution.

this sort of thing just makes me wonder why it isn't part of the operating system already. seems like an obvious thing to want after you've seen it done.
