Synapse Syndrome said:OK, I have realised that they aren't actually virtual folders. Virtual
Folders is still something I need to learn more about.
What I am referring to are the special folders in the User Folder that are
coloured green/blue and are actually redirectable shortcuts.

Joe Zapert said:It sounds to me like you're actually referring to the user shell folders
(Documents, Music, Videos.) They're blue-green and special. They're also
redirectable, though they're not shortcuts.
These are real file folders and get their special functionality and icons
from a hidden file inside the folders. You can certainly create more
folders in the user folder and name them whatever you like, but they won't
get the special color and icons.
Chad Harris said:I don't know who asked the question because posts are getting separated
from their threads somehow. The question I see is "can you create more
Virtual Folders?" Vista RTM uses the term "searches" for VFs.
I hope this covers what you want to do. If you want a different type of
"shell folder" speak up.

least
within the 'Users Files" folder. Been looking for that as well myslef.
Junctions/symlinks do not do the same thing as those folders do.
Will also need to address how when you move them/change their location, of
a
call is made to the C:\users\username\<folder> and it is not there
(because
you changed the location) it will create it again. Then in the 'Users
Profile' folder you see two of those folders. One in the new location, one
in
the old. FAULTY!
