I have tried it and set the driver letter to be displayed at the end. Now I can change the drive with Alt+F1/F2 and then pressing the drive letter. But in the old version of FreeCommander it also worked with the driver letter being displayed first.
And I would prefer if there was a solution which allows me to set the drive letter being displayed first and still can change the drive in the decribed way.

For a FreeCommander user its of no value how the Windows Explorer displays the drives.
I never at all use the Windows Explorer if I have some other file manager.
Why should Marek support configurations which are made by strange unknown tools ?

Of course, it is indeed Marek´s right to implement his software as he wants.
But for me it was an unexpected behavior in difference to the old FreeCommander. And I think it should always be a good practice to have as less dependencies on other software or components as possible.
Although I prefer to use FreeCommander instead of Windows Explorer, there are some use cases where I still use the Windows Explorer.
But I can live with that little constraint.
Marek did and does a good job anyway!
