- To get started, create a new folder to which you will map your new drive.
- (optional) Create a folder called link under C:\Users\FirstName LastName\.
- If you like, you can just use C:\Users\FirstName LastName\Documents, but I prefered to use a seperate folder so that it doesn't appear to clutter my real Documents folder with the new shortcuts (vs, sql, etc.)
- Open a command prompt with Administrator privileges and map your folder to a drive:
- subst B: "C:\Users\FirstName LastName\link"
- You will also want to open another command prompt without Administrator privileges and do this one same command there.
- Now create your links
- DeepZoom: mklink B:\dz /d "C:\Users\FirstName LastName\Documents\Expression\Deep Zoom Composer Projects"
- SQL Server: mklink B:\sql /d "C:\Users\FirstName LastName\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio"
- Visual Studio: mklink B:\vs /d "C:\Users\FirstName LastName\Documents\Visual Studio 2008"
- Documents: mklink B:\doc /d "C:\Users\FirstName LastName\Documents"
If you want to delete all this stuff:
- Open a command prompt (with or without Administrator privileges) and remove each of the links
- DeepZoom: rd B:\dz
- SQL Server: rd B:\sql
- Visual Studio: rd B:\vs
- Documents: rd B:\doc
- Open a command prompt with Administrator privileges and remove your mapped drive:
- subst /D B:
- You will also want to open another command prompt without Administrator privileges and do this one same command there.
- Delete the link folder, if you created it.
