Has anyone gotten something like this to actually work?

I have 6 disks, with directories having movies ( .iso files in c:\movies, g:\movies, J:\movies etc..) and would just like to see all the movies in one list . (using title browsing in database doesn't completely work, I have foreign movies not listed in imdb)

I don't mind running a script etc. to populate links or whatever.

I tried using junctions as suggested, but it looks like one can only make junctions to folders, not files. One can only make hard links to files in the same disk/partition.. So I still don't see how I can get one list of movie file names from different physical disks..

I couldn't make a directory(share) called MOVIES_ALL and have hard links/junctions to all the different movie .iso files.. Having junction points to folders gets us back to the same place as before, having to go into each of the directories.

ANY solution to this ?? I really don't like having to go into six shares to find all the movies I have.. This is bugging me.

"intention" above seems to say he's got it to work, but I can't see how.. Either I'm doing something wrong, or "intention" just stopped at theory without confirming the solution..
