Have you ever needed to repeatedly access a folder that is nested deep inside a giant hierarchy of folders? Sure, you can always create a shortcut to that folder, but did you know you can actually assign a drive letter to a folder instead? Today we'll show you how to do this.

This ability has existed in Windows via the subst command for quite a while, so this will also work for you XP users as well.

Map a Drive Letter the Easy Way

The easiest way to assign a drive letter to a folder is to use a simple utility called Visual Subst, which gives you a nice graphical interface to assign drive letters, but also does something that the command line version can't… you can set your virtual drives to apply again at startup.

You can download and run the utility without needing to install it, and then simply use the Browse button to select your path, and click the green plus symbol after choosing the drive letter.

At this point you should see the drive letter show up in the list. (Note that you can delete it by highlighting and choosing the red X icon, or change the path / letter by using the Save button.

If you want to save the drives, you'll want to select the "Apply virtual drives on Windows startup" option.

Now when you open up your Computer window, you should see the new drive show up in the list.

The contents of the new M: drive will actually be the contents of my desktop folder.

Download FileRecoveryAngel 1.13

Filerecoveryangel is an advance and convenient data recovery software that is very simple to use.

This software will help you to recover deleted files from disks which were formatted in FAT12,FAT16,FAT32,NTFS file system.The program runs under Windows ®WIN95/WIN98/WIN Me/WIN NT/WIN2000/WIN XP/ WIN 2003. ... Not only the hard disks ,Filerecoveryangel can work well on floppy disks, digital cameras, USB drives, ZIP disks, CompactFlash cards, SmartMedia, and Sony Memory Sticks.

.

Reason of Recover Files

when you delete files,the windows just make a sign on these deleted files. The Windows do not really deleted the information and the data of files, and the information and the data of deleted files would not be losted here. So we have a good chance to recover these files immediately.

But if you do not recover these deleted files, soon or later the data of these files would be covered with other new files. Then you would not get a correct files with Filerecoveryangel.

Discrete Files

If the parent directory of the deleted files and directories has been covered In NTFS, then these deleted files and directories can't been putted into the Drive's dirctory tree.So we put these files and directories into "Discrete files"

Unrecoverable Files

Sometimes we will get a incorrect files with the Filerecoveryangel. Because the whole data or the part of data of the deleted files had been covered with other data. Otherwise,In FAT system that including FAT32,FAT16,FAT12,the data of the file maybe stored in fragment.When we recover these deleted files In FAT,we just recover the data in rapid sequence, so we can not get the correct files.
