I'm under Windows 7, and I'd like to know if it's possible to create a virtual folder that points to many other folders, effectively listing all their contents as if being in a single directory.
I'll try to be more precise with an example. Let's suppose that I have many files in a directory structure to better categorize them, like this:
Main_dir
|-> Subfolder1
| |-> File1A.zip
| |-> File1B.zip
|-> Subfolder2
| |-> File2A.zip
| |-> File2B.zip
|-> Subfolder3
|-> File3A.zip
|-> File3B.zip
And so on. I need to keep those files inside this hierarchical structure, like I said to have them categorized; but I also need to have all of them listed as being inside a single directory, like this:
Virtual_dir
|-> File1A.zip
|-> File1B.zip
|-> File2A.zip
|-> File2B.zip
|-> File3A.zip
|-> File3B.zip
Basically, I want to create a link named Virtual_dir that points to Main_dir\Subfolder1 AND Main_dir\Subfolder2 AND Main_dir\Subfolder3.
Is it possible to do so? Linking any single file inside the Virtual_dir is not what I'm trying to do. I want to use a feature similar to libraries, with folder containing any kind of files (not just music, videos and documents) in a way that can be understood not just by Windows itsefl but also by any other arbitrary piece of software.
Documentslibrary? I need to paste it inside a configuration file to make a certain software recognize it, but if I try to get it from Explorer address bar I get something likeLibraries\Documents, that is not a full URL and is not recognized outside Windows explorer. – Sekhemty Oct 14 '14 at 20:58
