Click Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management.

Under the Storage heading you'll find Disk Management.

Right click on your F drive, click "Change Drive Letter And Paths". Click the Change button, select J, OK yourself out of there.

It should remember next time.

If there's a shorter way I'm sure someone will provide it.
