NAME
       delMountedDevices - delete registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices

SYNOPSIS
       delMountedDevices

DESCRIPTION
       delMountedDevices is a very, very small tool to delete the Windows
       registry key \SYSTEM\MountedDevices in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE with just one
       simple call.
       Windows saves the "partition to drive letter" mappings in this registry
       key. So, when Windows is booting next time, it will redo all those
       mappings, because the MountedDevices key is missing.

       This might be helpful with disk imaging systems.

NOTES
       Well, yes, in fact it's not worth it, to write a whole C program for
       such a minimal job. Today's scripting systems/languages do
       suffice - definitely, but I needed such a functionality and while I was
       busy with other C projects, writing it in C was just ... obvious ;-)

       delMountedDevices should work on Windows NT/2000/XP and above.
