Gene, You are correct... One drive at a time but they are all the same drive makes/models. Dismounting one (Z:) and then inserting another results in the new drive being mounted as (E:) but NOT every time and not every drive. A couple of them mount to Z: but the rest can be random.

Evidently it is a known problem, hence the need for software fix such as USBDLM which dows work, but not with an encrypted drive.

Gene, Yes it does work.... however the Drive letter is defined by the make of the Drive and if you have a number of identical drives then it assumes that the drive already is mapped and proceeds to randomly map the drive to another letter.

This does not make sense. Windows ignores the setting for another drive of the same maker?

Are you mounting more than one of the USB drives at a time? I could understand the random mapping then as there can not be two drives with the same drive letter.
