HOW TO: Mount A Folder as Local Drive in Windows

We all know below option in windows explorer that we can mount a network location as a local drive.

How about mounting a folder as a local drive?

STEPS:

• Create a Shortcut. 
  
  
  
  
  
• In the type a location of the item field, copy/paste 
  subst X: "D:\path\to\your\folder"
  
  Example: subst X: "C:\Users\username\Desktop\Video Tools etc"
  
  Replace the drive letter(s) to your preference and of course have the correct full path.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then give a name to your Shortcut
  

  

  
  
  
• Double Click your newly created shortcut and in couple seconds you will see the new local drive in your explorer.
  

  

  
  
  
• (Optional) If you want to rename the drive just select it, press F2 to rename it and give a name of you liking as the example below
  

  

  
  
  
• To remove the drive, open a CMD window or simply in RUN windows menu type 
  subst x: /d
  where the x: replace with the drive letter you used in previous steps and /d parameter will delete
  TIP: If you keep the shortcut, every time you double click it, it will recreate the mapped drive.
