SUMMARY

Mounting NTFS folders under other NTFS folders is achievable using the "junction" command. This command allows users to create directory junctions, effectively linking folders across different drives. While shortcuts to UNC paths can be created, not all applications recognize these shortcuts, which limits their utility. For detailed guidance, refer to the Sysinternals documentation available at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of NTFS file system structure
  • Familiarity with command-line interface in Windows
  • Knowledge of junction points and their applications
  • Basic understanding of UNC paths and network shares
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the "junction" command syntax and usage in Windows
  • Explore the differences between junctions and symbolic links
  • Learn about the limitations of shortcuts in Windows applications
  • Investigate advanced file system management techniques using Sysinternals tools
USEFUL FOR

System administrators, IT professionals, and users managing complex file systems who need to optimize folder organization and access across multiple drives.

Is this possible? (Folders in different drives)

Look at the "junction" command
You can also make a shortcut direct to a share unc path but not all programs understand shortcuts
