What part of "Vista sets and remembers the drive letter" are you too
stupid to understand? All the end user can do is tell Vista to use
such and such letter. When Vista ****s it up, that's VISTA's fault,
not the end user's fault. You keep trying to wiggle out of what you
said and change topics. I didn't say I had any problem setting the
drive letter, the issue is Vista remembering it. Hint: An internal
error in Vista commonly called a bug. Does this happen to everyone or
all the time? No! I didn't say it did. However it DOES happen and that
is what bugs the crap out of Microsoft worshipers that can't stand to
have Vista flaws pointed out.

Looking smart compared to you is a piece of cake. When will you get
around to actually addressing the issues I raised?

Oh lookie how fast Yanaire is backpedaling. You still haven't
addressed the issue. As always you waffle, then lie, now cornered you
change topics. What do you want to know about my system? It's
meaningless distraction. The issue is how come Vista forgets drive
letter assignments, and then because of it screwed up linkage to
previously created thumbnails causing it to regenerate them all. If
the questions are too hard for you, just say so. ;-)

Standard Yanaire bullshit.

Boy is Yanaire sweating bullets now. <giggle> Care to explain how
drives I've had for years all of a sudden are "****ed up"? You keep
avoiding the issue. I guess you require hand holding to have a chance
to understand what I'm telling you in plain English.
1. I bought a new external Seagate Free Agent Pro 1 TB drive.
2. Vista saw it, installed the driver. It works fine.
3. I changed the drive letter to Z. Vista accepted it.
4. I moved over a 100 GB's worth of files back and forth
between the new and older external drives. Windows Explorer
correctly showed my 3 external drives as X,Y and Z.
5. I shutdown.
6. Today, I boot up, hours later mount my old drive Y.
Vista doesn't see it as Y, calls it I.
7. Result of Vista ****ing up, results in lost thumbnails
on Y causing it to waste time regenerating same.
Again, I don't have any problems, I easily changed the drive letter
back to Y. The point that always zooms over your empty head is WHY
Vista ****s things up. This is the place to report such issues. I know
morons like you, Frank and other Microsoft worshipers hate it.
If you can't follow along, have some adult explain it to you.

Same Yanaire bullshit he repeated hundreds of times.

More Yanaire bullshit. Proper instructions? Because you really are a
stupid SOB I guess I need to remind you that during install regardless
if doing a clean install or some install in place Vista polls the user
with some simple configurations questions, then it does it's thing
without user intervention. So all your lame attempt to shift blame to
the end user doing something wrong is so bogus it's laughable to
anyone with intelligence.

More Yanaire bullshit. Start out calling the other guy a dummy. I
kicked your ass, drown you in facts proving Vista is flawed, you as
always whine and try to change topics.

Again more Yanaire lies. Typical Yanaire bullshit.
Hear everyone laughing at you fool?
There is nothing to "fix", that is nothing any user can fix. I'm
simply reporting how ****ed Vista is at the core level to keep causing
issues like this to crop up. You're in denial if you think such things
don't happen (your default response) and why you're just a ****wit
like Frank that "thinks" the same way.
