Angry External zip drive automatic letter selection

I occasionally use an Iomega 100 Mb external zip drive with my machine. The problem is that it assigns itself the drive letter D, thus shifting my CD to E or whatever and ******ing up several shortcuts. I've tried forcing the CD to stay as D by limiting the drive assignment choice in the properties, but as soon as the Zip makes an appearance it shuffles of and becomes E again. I can't seem to find how the Zip drive gets its drive letter assignment. Any of you sages cast any light on it?
