Connect "Desktop" to other partition than Windows "C:"?

Connect "Desktop" to other partition than Windows "C:"?

Hello, I'm interested in the following:

Connecting "Desktop" to other partition than Windows "C:", so if I drop files on DSKT for easy reuse and availability, they copy on, f.e., "D:" or other partition.

Any way to achieve this?

Thank you.

I just go to the other partition or HDD, right-click the drive letter/icon and drag to the desktop choosing Create shortcut here. That works but it probably would be better to do the same with a Folder on the other drive. Dropping a file on the icon should copy or save it there.

Hi Guys,

Inlesco, sounds like you want to create a virtual drive and link it to a folder, purely for easy access. This can be achieved with the help of a command named Subst.

An example of the solution follows; linking drive D with the users desktop:

SUBST D: "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop"

Make certain that D drive does not exist prior to running the command.
