I doubt they would change, unless you added or removed some hardware. (I've never had my dvd, cd-rw, or tape drive change, so I'm not expecting the CF drive to change). I hardly ever shut my machines down, so I may be wrong... :-) > 2. How do I give myself access to my devices (read & write) as a normal > user?
