Do you want a program that will give you control over Windows’ drive letter assignment for USB drives? Then find out more about what a program like USBDLM has to offer.

What is USB Drive Letter Manager?

USBDLM is a Windows service that gives control over Windows’ drive letter assignment for USB drives. Running as service makes it independent of the logged on user’s privileges, so there is no need to give the users the privilege to change drive letters. It automatically solves conflicts between USB drives and network or subst drives of the currently logged on user. Furthermore you can define new default letters for USB drives and much more.

USBDLM enables you to check if the letter is used by a network share of the currently logged on user and assign the next letter that is really available. Other amazing things you can do with the program include the following: reserve letters, so they are not used for local drives; assign letters for a specific USB drive by putting an INI file on the drive; remove the drive letters of card readers until a card is inserted; and a couple of others.

A couple of changes have also been made to this version to include the following: Bug fix: since V4.8.0 USBDLM crashed on arrival of a drive which does not respond within 2 seconds; crash UsbDriveInfo if started without a USBDLM.INI have been fixed; and command interface returned errors on success has also been taken care of.

Any downside?

The program has a 30 day trial limitation. Full version would cost you $15.

Ever wondered whether you will ever get to see a new version of the very popular Guardian 2 software? Well, you are lucky because PeerBlock is what you probably have been clamouring or looking for.

What is PeerBlock?

PeerBlock is a new version of the popular Peer Guardian 2 software. It blocks “known bad” computers from accessing yours, for example governments, corporate entities, and those flagged for anti-p2p activities. It maintains the functionality of the original Peer Guardian 2 program, but includes fixes for various issues that remain unaddressed in the latest (~2 year old) version of PG2.

I used to think one won’t be able to find an application that works perfectly when it comes to peer blocking; well, we have been proved wrong because PeerBlock has very nice features that get the job done. The software only used a small amount of resources on your system; which means your system won’t drag.

PeerBlock lets you control who your computer “talks to” on the Internet. By selecting appropriate lists of “known bad” computers, you will be able to block communication with advertising or spyware oriented servers, computers monitoring your p2p activities, computers which have been “hacked”, even entire countries.
