Found a great alternative that seems pretty solid. Does the same things as DiscMounter, but without the errors and while leaving my icons where they are.

Nice found, but I think the link to DeskDrive was already somewhere around on AS

I've taken a look at the coding for DeskDrive and it's basically the same thing I'm doing only without some of the other features - icon saving, cd renaming, etc. Not sure where all the issues you guys are running into are coming from. I see from the comments it's mostly a settings window problem and the icons being moved.
You can turn off the icons moving to the right feature and as for the settings window throwing up errors, I can't really debug for that as I've never encountered that error no matter what I throw at DiscMounter. Sorry, if it doesn't work for some people but that's the way it is sometimes.
I'm glad those of you who have run into problems or simply don't like DiscMounter have found an alternative!

Sranshaft, the problems i was having were mostly with the errors being thrown up all of the time when trying to save settings. It would throw an error and it wouldn't save the settings and that is a big problem. I found an XML file with the settings stored in it and found that i could edit that and make some changes. That fixed the icons from moving to the right. But some of the settings in that file didn't seem to matter. It would still shuffle my icons around on the left side of the screen. I have had these same issues on every computer i have installed it on. I am using Vista x64 and have used it on Vista 32-bit as well. I have given myself full permissions to the folder and run it as an administrator so that i wouldn't have UAC problems, but that didn't seem to help. Another problem that i mentioned some time before was that the icon that appeared on the desktop was broken if the drive you inserted didn't have a drive label. This is common with flash drives, SD cards, etc.
I don't know what the differences in our systems are, but you're right, that's the way it is sometimes.

Hi,
sorry for the late reply, but this is the first time i'm using this app...
Is there a way to change the icon used for the drive?
And i'm having a problem that the icon doesn't stay at the position when I say "Save icon position".
But it is a nice app. Thumbs up!
