USBDLM V5.6.1 - USB Drive || Letter Manager for Windows || 2024

Features of USBDLM:

  1. Automatic Drive Letter Management

    • USBDLM automatically checks if a drive letter is already in use, especially by network shares. If it is, USBDLM assigns the next available letter to avoid conflicts.

  2. Reserved Letters

    • Users can reserve certain drive letters to prevent them from being used by local drives. This ensures specific devices always use the same letter.

  3. Custom Criteria for Drive Letters

    • Drive letters can be assigned based on several criteria, such as the user currently logged in, the type of drive, the USB port used, the drive’s volume label, and the drive’s size.

  4. Volume Label-Based Letters

    • USBDLM can assign drive letters based on the volume label of the drive, making it easy to identify and access.

  5. Specific USB Drive Settings

    • Users can specify settings for particular USB drives using an INI file. This allows for detailed customization of drive behavior.

  6. Card Reader Management

    • For card readers, USBDLM hides the drive letters until a card is inserted, reducing clutter and confusion in the file explorer.

  7. Notifications

    • When a drive is assigned a letter, USBDLM can show a balloon tip notification, making it clear which letter has been assigned.

  8. Autorun Events

    • Users can define actions that happen automatically when a drive is attached, the service starts, or a user logs on. This can be useful for running scripts or other automated tasks.

  9. BadUSB Protection

    • USBDLM includes basic protection against potentially harmful USB devices, known as ‘BadUSB’.

What's New in Version 5.6.1:

  1. Bug Fixes

    • Permanent CPU load issue that was present since version 5.6 has been fixed.

    • Issues with volume labels on ReFS formatted drives have been resolved.
    • Crashes with the UsbDriveInfo tool when it couldn’t write to the ini file have been fixed.
    • Small font issues in UsbDriveInfo’s right pane on high DPI settings have been fixed.

  2. New Features
