NetBoy's advice worked for me!!! 10x The sitation: I had to map a locall folder on my HD as A: (on a 2000 server, think the same is on XP); so I had to dissable the floppy in order the console command subst to work for me. When I ennabled the floppy again it got a F: assignment. After the registry setting suggested by netboy, all I needed was a restart and my floppy became A: again!!! thanks to NetBoy p.s. by the way I couldnot find any MS tool renaming the floopy letter nor another workaround
