[...] Convert Directory into new drive: this will create a virtual hard drive volume in "My Computer" that contains the files from the directory that was used to create it.

Ooh God no. Douglas, this procedure that you say, could bring a big problem to the SO. Think about that, if you copy a file to the ‘drive’ directly instead of copying it to the folder location, the SO wouldn’t know where to save the file, wich of all the paths you defined for the drive.

For that reason I guess it’s impossible.

I think this is a silly question, but I have to ask it anyway.
