Mapping Folders to Virtual Drives

Any of you ever wanted to map your favourite folders as physical drivers in windows? so you can access the folder as a hard disk? Well.. Here's the way, just for you to create a virtual hard disk.

1. Choose the folder which you want to map.

2. Go to command prompt

3. Type the following line of code.
Subst [drive1: [drive2:]path]

4. Here, drive1 is the drive which you are about to create. drive2: is the drive which your destination folder exist and the path is your destination folder.

5. As an example, you can map c:\test folder to a virtual drive as follows.
Subst s: c:\test

6. If you want to remove the virtual drive, type the following code.
Subst drive1: /d

7. For an example, if you want to remove the drive which we created earlier, you can do it as follows.
Subst s: /d

Interesting... Huh??
