I have a regular need to remove and reassign a drive letter to a volume in
my system and I would like to know if the Disk Management function within
the Computer Management console has a command line interface (so that I can
write a batch file) or if a VBA script could automate a procedure whereby I
assisn and unassign a specific drive letter to a particular volume.

Any input would be appreciated...

You can create a shortcut to diskmgmt.msc.
