Change in drive mapping

I have just installed  anew Win7 computer

This connects OK but unfortunately the automatic drive mapping is no longer the same

ie Family Library was Z and is now Y

This has made all the links in the ITunes library wrong and I can no longer access the files directly from ITunes.

 

Is there any way I can reset the automatic mapping to what it was?

Hi,

 

just delete the mappings that you have and redo them manually yourself. It's very easy.

Re: Change in drive mapping

Thank you for the advice.

Unfortunately using Disk Manager does not allow you to change network drives!

 

I tried unmapping and then allocating the drive letters I wanted, initially OK.

When I logged on again Stora Agent then remapped the drives again!!

I had tried this previously.

Just wondered if there is a registry entry for the Stora Agent that sets the drive letters.

Not a great problem as I could delete all the entries in ITunes and reenter but this would take a long timeSmiley Sad

Re: Change in drive mapping

Thank you for the replies.

Tried everything but as I said before the Stora Agent then duplicates the drives.

Have set the mappings in windows and will then delete the mappings the SA creates.

Was a bit concerned that this would stop the Desktop Mirror from working but not so.

Just mystified why Win 7 does not create them in the same logical order as Vista, ie Family Library 1st to Z?

 

However will leave as is for time being.

 

Thanks for suggestions.

Chris
