In Android 3 the connection to PC as Mass Storage Controller feature was removed.

Is there a way to access MTP-mounted phone as a drive letter? I want standard file manager programs (e.g. Total Commander) to work.

I cannot test it myself as I have no ICS or JB device, but it might be worth a try to check the following apps, which claim to give you back UMS (as long as the kernel permits it):

This answer is backwards; the question is how to mount the phone with a drive letter... not how to mount a drive onto the phone. – Myrddin Emrys May 16 at 0:35
Exactly that's what the answer is about: how to make UMS available again, so you can mount the phone to your computer. Read e.g. the description of USB Mass Storage Watcher and take a look at its last screenshot: Clearly the Android device mounted to the PC in UMS mode: "as an added feature now you can automatically mount your sd card. Just plug your device in and up comes the file window on your computer." – Izzy May 16 at 6:52
