Found a Workaround


Install NTFS Link:

Reboot your computer after installing.


Now, you can create a Virtual Folder on one drive and then make "symbolic links" or "junctions" to your other movies from within it.


For Example, I created a folder on my C drive called "Movies"

C:\Movies


After installing NTFS Link, I was able to highlight all the movies on one of my other drives, right-click and drag 'n drop them into the C:\Movies folder (using the right mouse button).  After releasing the button I have a new menu option called "Create Junction Here"


Continue to do that for all your other movie folders on all your other drives.


Now, in Media Portal, I just add my one C:\Movies folder to the movies list and all my movies are now contained in it from all my other drives.


*NOTE:  Please take extreme care with this utility, by creating a "junction" or "symbolic link" to C:\Movies, if I delete the c:\movies folder, it will recursively search out and delete all my other folders on my other drives. 

You must be sure to right-click on the folders and choose the "Remove Junction" option before making any changes to the C:\Movies folder.


Hope this helps.  It sure is nice seeing all my movies from all my drives in one directory listing in alphabetical order.
