Added HDD; CD-ROM Drive Letter Changed

When ever you add a CD to a system always make sure the drive letter is far
down the alphabet.

Windows 98
1997 model Dell XPS, 400 MHz PII
Added second HDD
Windows made it drive D:, and changed the CD-ROM to drive
E:
Program, installed before above change, wants to find its
CD on drive D: instead of E:
Short of uninstalling the program and reinstalling, is
there any way I can make the CD-ROM drive drive D: and the
HDD drive E:?

Thanks.

Thanks for the response and the help. I didn't add a CD-
ROM, I added a second HDD.

Understood that and I guess I would have to say I wasn't very clear.

Any CD should always be assigned a drive letter in the lower part of the
alphabet. Even when installing Windows.

Control of drive letters is purely controlled by DOS/Windows. We really do
not have any real control over that.

Since you must edit the links anyway, you might
as well permanently set your CD drive(s) to letter
you will probably never reach no matter how many
devices (e.g. camera card readers) you add in future.
Mine are set to drives O: and Q: via / Control Panel
/ CD drives / Properties for each item.

All you have to do is edit the shortcuts, put the correct
letter in them. Right click the shortcut choose properties.
