USB drive conflict

I have a drive letter that's mapped to a network drive by default. When I
insert a USB drive it tries to assign itself to that same letter, which
creates a conflict and I can't figure out how to access the USB drive. Is
there some way I can direct it to another drive letter?

Hi
Un-Map the Network Drive and Re-Map it using high letter like L and above.

How do I access "Drive manager"
