Vista has something neat in it called junctions. Read this thread for a little more information: http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=82950

Anyway, junctions are very useful and you can create your own.

Open up a command prompt and type 'Mklink /?' and you will be presented with the necessary information for creating your own junctions in Vista.

How about a junction that looks like a folder but when you copy files to it they are directed to your web site some where on the internet immediately....drag and drop for the internet without any other client needed (FTP, front page, P2P stuff, etc...)

OK, the truth now, junctions are not new as they have been in NTFS based OS's for a while. Vista just calls them symlinks - actually symlinks are new but they are so close to what junctions are. What is new is that MS has provided the MKlink command line tool to create your own 'symlinks' in Vista where as in the past the tools were not part of the OS. Why are they new for Vista? Because this is the first time that the use of symlinks/junctions have been so obvious in a MS OS, so in a sense they are 'new'. I used the 'junction' term here because thats what those who used past OS were familiar with.
