If you work with a number of external drives, USB flash drives and then insert a disc in to your PC, you’ll quickly realise it’s quite difficult to remember which drive letter is assigned to each drive.

Ideally you’d be able to assign a particular drive letter to each drive and keep the drive letter every time you connect the external unit. Better still, connect and you see the drive letter and shortcut to the drive from your desktop. Double-click and it takes you to the drive in Windows Explorer.

Desk Drive is a solution that will help, by finding the assigned drive and simply adding a temporary drive shortcut on your desktop that takes you to the new drive. Remove the drive or disc and the shortcut disappears from the desktop.

You can configure Desk Drive to monitor particular drives. For instance, you may not want a direct link to an inserted disc, only external flash drives.
