Description and details
I use intensively Direct Folders pro with several USB removable HD, pen drive or other devices connected to a mini Hub or to the many native computers USB ports.
When the disks are inserted randomly the sequence of drive letter indicate in the menu can't not correspond with the assigned drive and path letters of the memorized Direct Folders Menu. 
So it were useful to personalize the Direct Folders Menu with a complete and unambiguous folder naming:
e.g. CRUZER_4GB:\BACKUP in the Target Click field as alternative to the relative and unsure address: L:\BACKUP
So it were possible avoid the error of copying, erasing, moving, updating files and paths in case of a crossing or inversion of drive  letter.
In case the user select a Menu entries and the the Volume Label isn't connected, Direct Folders warns the impossibility to open the explorer window with a message as "Wrong disc inserted or Volume not present" or better Direct Folder lists a "grayed out" and unselectabile Menu selection.
