PPT on my thumbdrive and changing drive letters?

Hello. Forgive me. New to this but rapidly learning.

Question: What would it take for me to keep a presentation on my 4 GB
thumbdrive and be presentable from one computer to another?

Problem: My presentation has hyperlinked MOVie files, URLs, Shockwave
slides. These files are on the thumbdrive in their folders also. But when I
go from one different computer to another, the thumbdrive is assigned a
different drive letter each time and the links don't work.

I created these presentations on my personal computer and I permanently
asigned the thumbdrive and (S) letter, but can't change other's computers as
I do not have administrator's rights.

How do I get my presentations and links to run from one differing computer
to another?

THANK YOU

Well, Music, videos and other hyperlink files are linked to PowerPoint
presentation, when you show the PowerPoint presentation on other
computers, the linked music will not be shown.
Solution:
1. Put the video files and the PowerPoint presentation in a same
folder.
2. Reinsert music, videos and other hyperlink files to the PowerPoint
presentation.
3. Package the entire folder into one archive file and send it to
other computers.

I recommend that you convert your PowerPoint to Flash or EXE files to
embed these linked files. Some third party presentation tool such as
Wondershare PPT2Flash Standard http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash..html
can help you do this work. You can convert it with one click. Of
course, all the original effect can be retained in Flash.
Regards.

Thank you all!

I will:
- keep all my PPT and video files in the same folder on the thumbdrive.
- remember I can convert and embed the video/audio with the Flash link
given, but as I change the PPT frequently, I'll just keep it all in one
folder for the moment.
- remember that all computers don't have my needed Shockwave and Flash

THANKS ALL!
