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...

There are the commandline tool diskpart and mountvol.
It's hard to script something around to change drive
letter.
My tool ReMount makes it easy.

Sample to change X: to Y:

remount x: y:
or short
remount x y

Thank you very much for that, Uwe. Can ReMount also *unmount*? Can I use
this tool to remove a drive designation altogether?

No but for this purpose you can use mountvol which
comes with XP:

mountvol X: /D
