[description]
USBDLM is a Windows service that gives control over Window's drive
letter assignment for USB drives. Running as service makes it
independent of the logged on user's privileges, so there is no need to
give the users the privilege to change drive letters.
It automatically solves conflicts between USB drives and network or
subst drives of the currently logged on user.
Furthermore you can define new default letters for USB drives and much more.
[features]
USBDLM can for newly attached USB drives
* check if the letter is used by a network share of the currently
logged on user and assign the next letter that is really available
* reserve letters, so they are not used for local drives
* assign a letter from a list of new default letters, also
dependent on many different criteria as the active user, drive type,
connection (USB, FireWire), USB port, volume label, size and others
* assign letters for a specific USB drive by putting an INI file
on the drive
* remove the drive letters of card readers until a card is inserted
* show a balloon tip with the assigned drive letter(s)
* define autorun events depending on many different criteria
