[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12464"] [b]Found a Workaround[/b] Install NTFS Link: [url]http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?ntfslink[/url] 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. [/QUOTE]
