I have managed to group folders using Can I get rid of the Windows 7 libraries folder dropdowns?

But now I see 3 folders all called "Soft"

enter image description here

Currently this library includes:

  1. D:\Me
  2. E:\Shared
  3. F:\Test

The last one is added to see if it will merge the folders.

The folder structure for them is like this:

D: 
    Me
        Soft
E:
    Shared
        Drivers
        Soft
F:
    Test
        Soft

What do I need to do to get the "Soft" folders to combine into one merged folder?

Info:

  • Windows 7 Ultimate x64
  • Indexing service disabled

  • Perhaps make a "Soft" library and add those specific folders to it? Nov 23, 2013 at 20:40
  • @techie007 what do you mean? Dec 16, 2013 at 19:37
  • Make a new library, named something like "Soft" (for example). Add those specific folders to that specific library. :) Dec 16, 2013 at 19:42
  • @techie007 oh, sorry (wow I must be slow today) yes, I did that, but the folders within "soft" don't merge in that case, I wonder if there is some alternative Explorer program that does this? Although I also had thoughts of using symlinks everywhere to organize my folders across the 6 hard disks that I have. Dec 16, 2013 at 19:48

Under Library Properties, choose to organise as General Items

  • Doesn't sound like a working solution... besides, in my Win7 here it's "Optimize this library for...", not "Organise".

  • For sake of being new and for improvement, we're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer: please explain why you're recommending it as a solution.
