MMW says all files inaccessible

Yesterday morning, I was able to play my entire library from MMW with no problem. Yesterday evening, I tried to play some songs and discovered that all songs are showing as grayed out, and if I try to play them from within MMW, I get an error that they are inaccessible. I did not make any software changes yesterday. If I click on one of the files in Windows Explorer, it starts playing in MMW. MMA still works without a problem, same files. I do not have Gold, so locate is not enabled. If I rescan, it says there are no new files. I've been using MMW for years, and never had this problem before. Any advice would be appreciated.

Check the Paths of the files in MediaMonkey. They likely are not matching the paths of the files on your PC (could be missing drive letter).

OK, Lowlander, that was a good call. It is showing the name of the drive instead of the letter. So it says [Files Disk]\Users instead of D:\Users. I don't know how that would have changed randomly during the day, but is there a way to fix that in bulk?

Yes, with re-assign drive.

Are you using a Mapped or external drive?

My drive is mapped, internal.

Your link did the trick. Thank you so much! I was afraid I was going to have to do something manually for thousands of files.
Have a great day!
