Picasa and drive B

To be able to search through drive B in Picasa 3.9 doesn't seem like a frequently occuring issue, but if it's a problem, there's still a solution without changing the letter of the drive.

In Picasa 3.9 you are not able to scan a drive within the letter B. Some say it has been possible in previous versions - I can't tell... Anyway..

The solution is the following:
1) Open computer management
2) Select disk management
3) Right-click at the drive B and chose Change Drive Letter and Paths
4) Click 'Add' to select a temporary folder which will be redirected to drive B
5) Confirm the selection with 'OK'

So now you just have to open Picasa, select Tools, then Folder Manager. Now you can open drive B in Picasa and select the subfolders you want.

Note: Many years ago the drives A and B were reserved for floppy drives. Even in Windows XP you were (with the regular way...) unable to mount another drive with the letter A or B. Since Windows 7 (and I guess probably also in Vista) the letters A and B were free to use for any other drive...
