Solve : Mapping more than one folder to a drive using SUBST?? |
|
Answer» HELLO, I was wondering if there is a way to map two different folders to be in the same drive letter? For EXAMPLE, I have this folder: C:\dir1\dir2 And this folder: C:\dirA\dirB I would like to have the dir2 and the dirB directories SHOW up on a new virtual drive. Is this possible? I cannot seem to find any examples of it, so I am assuming it is not possible. Can I simply map them both to the virtual drive? Or will this create a major conflict? THANKS, K. It will not let you add a second folder to the SUBSTed drive. You will get an error message like the following: c:\>subst h: d:\folder c:\>subst h: c:\files Drive already SUBSTedWhat version of Windows are you using. You could possibly do it as a symbolic link if you are using Vista or 7. On XP you would need to install a 3rd party utility. Well not really THIRD party considering MS bought sysinternals a few years ago. You can download the Junction utility which will allow you to create links for directories. And just saw this for the first time. A shell extension for Explorer. http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html |
