Not really a Win 2000 question, although this problem exists in connection
with my W2K desktop.

I have two identical mp3 players. I sync music to them from the hard drive
through a discrete sync application, for which I should be able to set up
one profile, since the paths are identical. However, one player appears as
Drive G in the sync program (and in Windows Explorer), and the other player
appears as Drive D. There are no other additional USB devices plugged into
the machine.

Explorer isn't letting me change the drive letter of the player. Is there a
workaround for this?

Explorer was never meant to change drive letters. You need to invoke the
Disk Manager to do this - type diskmgmt.msc in the Start/Run box.

Perfect - thanks.
