Open up a command prompt window and issue the following command:
<CODE>SUBST w: C:\data\word_docs</CODE>
SUBST is short for substitute. (DOS commands are case-insensitive, so you could enter it as "subst" as well.) So, now, W:\intro.doc is the same thing as C:\data\word_docs\intro.doc -- two different ways to refer to the same file.</BLOCKQUOTE></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifehacker.com/software/windows-tip/give-a-folder-its-very-own-drive-letter-267728.php"><DIV class="related">
