RE: Secure Digital Card Reader

Hi Khan

Thanks for that, not possible for us to do that. But since listing the
request I managed to track down a solution. I have just tested it and it
works well.
From www.uwe-sieber.ds/usbdlm_e.html

This solves the problem of windows using pre mapped network drives. It takes
about 5 mins to set up and worked first time, all you need to do is fill in a
list of drive letters that you don't want to use for USB. It runs as a
service in the background.
