Windows 10: Hot key assigned to a repetitive test statement

Hello,

I have a text statement I type in our company software each time I use it. Instead of typing it each time, can I program one of the "F" keys to insert it each time I need it?

Thank you in advance,

Tony

Drive letter assignment to hot-swap drives being forgotten

You could create a batch file with diskpart that remove the drive letter and reassigns the one you want.
The drive number n should be last on list.

Initially


diskpart
list disk (to identify disk number)

Batch file e.g. letter.bat contains one line

diskpart /s letter.txt

and letter.txt contains

select disk n (n from above)
remove
assign letter= J (or whatever you want)
exit

and each time you swap drive, just run letter.bat.
