I know the "Disk management" (diskmgmt.msc) way to assign a driver letter such as G: to a (currently physically present) specific disk or device. But here my question is a little bit different.

How to force every USB external storage device (USB HDD, USB flash drives of any brand, etc.) to be assigned the same letter G:? Always, with no exception, for all devices that will be inserted in the future.

Note: only one USB port is available on this kiosk embedded computer, and if someone plugs a USB hub, then it's ok if it is G:, H:, I:, since I won't supported the other devices.

You will need a third-party tool : USB Drive Letter Manager (USBDLM) ($15, but the trial is fully functional and never expires for home and educational users).

USBDLM is configured thru a text file, USBDLM.INI, residing in the same folder as USBDLM.EXE.

The configuration file can limit the number of default letters for new USB drives via a directive such as:

[DriveLetters]
Letters=G

I have not installed this product, so cannot test whether it works as you intend.
