Yes, I've done that.

But the drives themselves: I've yet to see *ANY* software, including  
new software from Microsoft, that could use anything but a drive  
letter and/or was immune to drive letter changes.

Even in the last year with apps and games both, I've had this stupid  
problem bite me.

My present solution is to use device manager to fix my "always  
installed" drives to the first few letters, and never install anything  
on any drive but them.

I still have troubles with optical drives and flash drives moving, but  
usually that's annoying, not a show stopper.

It's still a very common rant in all kinds of Windows/gaming forums so  
obviously if there is a solution, someone needs to get the word out  
about it.
