Create a Virtual Drive for any folder in Vista
There is a secret in MS DOS command " subst" which is used to create a virtual drive letter for any folder in My Computer screen.
For example, if u want to use a folder called "new_folder" which is kept in" E:\new\downloads\ " then you can create a virtual drive say "Z:" in My Computer.
Here is the procedure.
1. Open Command prompt from , Start-->Run--> cmd
then type, subst drive-letter:folder-path
i.e., for example,
subst Z: E:\new\downloads\
2. If you want to delete this virtual drive, then provide following command:
subst drive_letter: /D
for example,
subst z: /D
You can view the available virtual drive just giving the command "subst" in command prompt
