My Documents type folder

Question

I want to create a folder that mounts to some other place just like default My Documents. It has a different target tab in properties. I can't create a folder with that tab. I need it because shortcuts doesn't act like folders in other programs.

Answer 1

Your question is a little unclear but what I think you are asking for is a Junction Point.

In computing, an NTFS junction point is a feature of the NTFS file system that provides the ability to create a link to a directory that is, for most intents and purposes, the same as the directory itself. This has many benefits over a Windows shell shortcut (.lnk) file, such as allowing access to files within the directory via Windows Explorer, the Command Prompt, etc.

On XP you can use the Microsoft Sysinternals Junction app to create these.

I suggest you read the above linked Wiki article carefully, particularly the Warning and Observed effects sections
