      Often, I add or remove and hard drive and this will totally break (almost) any link. There is a way to do them (possibly with the GUI) to point to an a exact drive (but the label would be fine) instead of its drive letter (which change quite often) ?

        @Hadden89 Well until someone using MS Windows actually comes here and tells exactly how, I'd say it would be possible with the use of symbolic links, probably junction points called in MS Windows, you 'd need to invest some time in understanding what soft, hard and junction points are, not sure if there is a GUI-based program for that in MS Windows.

        P.S. Or you can start using a real OS like GNU/Linux ๐Ÿ˜› , which doesn't have those "child" problems as it doesn't use "Drives" but partitions which you can mount anywhere to the file system, not just C: or D ๐Ÿ™‚

          @npro Yeah, I saw some workarounds which involves symlinks (actually there are some gui apps too) but doing that on root directories is not something I'll risk to do ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
          And yeah, is one of the reasons I still prefer linux even if I'm mainly a windows user. Oh, even for easier customization, but that is another thing :3

              By the way, I plan to set up (again) a linux machine with current hardware at the next upgrade, so yeah, the ice bird is not forgotten and is always in my โ™ฅ :Q__

                  Hi,

                  You could try with the Disk ID.

                  Not tested myself, just know about it.
