Dev Con & Dell

We have been having a serious issue with our latest Dell 755s. These PCs come with a built in 4 slot card reader. The A: drive is reserved for a floppy, C: is the local HDD, D: is taken by the DVD drive, leaving E, F, G & H for the card reader. I imagine 90% of network admins have set the users home area to default to H: which obviously causes a major problem when the user tries to log-in to a machine with a card reader. As a short term fix we have used a MS tool called devcon, which can disable devices from the command line. Ill post an update when we find a more long term solution.
