HOW TO TURN A FOLDER IN TO A DRIVE









When you‘re regularly working in a folder deep in your file system, you probably spend lots of time expanding other folders to reach it. But Windows does provide another way. Click ‘Start’, type SUB ST z: "c:\my data\work\accounts\2014\december" and press[Enter], for instance, and Windows creates a virtual drive called Z: that actually points to the folder you‘ve specified. (Enter a drive letter that doesn‘t exist on your PC, and a folder path that does, surrounded by quotes.) Your new drive appears in the Computer folder, and in file Save or Open dialogs, so it‘s easy to select. And if you save, or drag-and-drop files to that folder, they actually go to the folder, just as you‘d expect – very convenient.


Reboot, or enter SUBSTz: \D to delete a virtual drive (don‘t worry, the contents of your folder remain untouched).
