I put a bunch of applications on a portable harddrive (i.e. Quicken) that has always been considered the E: drive when I plug it into the USB port. For some reason it now wants to be called the F: drive and some of the apps aren't opening. Does anyone know how I can change this back to E: drive?

Right click on the disk, and tell it to use E: as the path.

Careful, I might take you up on that.

One thing you need to worry about is if you've done any installs of new programs that are looking for something on that drive on another path. If you haven't, you should be fine now.
