I've been using a USB thumbdrive for a few months now. I transfer music to and from work and home, back up personal docs and Firefox profiles, store scripts that I have developed, and run Portable Apps from it.

The 4 GB version I have is awesome, and very handy. Today I learned an excellent way to ensure that the thumbdrive is available at the same location across computers you use. This is especially handy when using back up scripts. Windows only, but that is where I live.

The short how-to: Run "diskmgmt.msc" from Windows' Run/Start Search box, right-click on your plugged-in drive and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths." Then:

Click on the Add button, select Mount into the following empty NTFS folder and click on browse. Now navigate to the subfolder that you want to assign the USB drive to and confirm the assignment. The USB drive will from now on be accessible from that folder as well if it is connected to the computer
