Default Reassigning Drive Letters in XP

When I've plugged in hardware like printers and dvd burners in the past, some of them have "hijacked" the drive letter of my auxiliary hard drive that I use on one of my PC's. This hard drive is usually left plugged in, but when I switched it off recently (thinking to conserve its life) it had a different letter when I switched it back on, so all the shortcuts associated with it would no longer work.

I don't want to have to re-do all these shortcuts, but the computer just will not allow me to rename this drive. I've looked online, and apart from the obvious left-click>rename, this below is the only other suggestion... it doesn't work either. And I simply don't understand the bit right at the bottom.



How can I rename my auxiliary drive? I've already tried unplugging everything else and switching on, but it still comes up with the wrong name
