I have a drive letter that's mapped to a network drive by default. When I
insert a USB drive it tries to assign itself to that same letter, which
creates a conflict and I can't figure out how to access the USB drive. Is
there some way I can direct it to another drive letter?

Hi
Un-Map the Network Drive and Re-Map it using high letter like L and above.

Which may be bad advice as network shares might require being on specific
drive letters.

You might be able to use the Drive Manager to reassign the letter used for
the USB drive. That's probably a better solution. If you can't do it
yourself (because it's a work machine) then have the admins do it for you.
It's a trivial thing to edit.
