virtual folders?

[Guest]

Hi everyone, I have a question that may be kind of advanced. I want to create
a virtual folder or something that might be described as such and I don't
know how to do this in windows. Maybe there's some other software that can
enable this...

Say I have 2 folders:

I:\ReallyBigFiles1
J:\ReallyBigFiles2

Is there a way to create a reference (C:\AllReallyBigFiles) that will show
(and read from other programs) the contents of the other two folders
simultaniously.

Maybe this would be called a virtual file merge or virtual syncronization. I
was looking at NTFS junctions, but that only solved half of the problem. Any
insight would be much appriciated.

If I have:

I:\folder1\file1.ext
J:\folder2\file2.ext

I want to see:

c:\folder0\file1.ext
c:\folder0\file2.ext

So junctions almost solve my problem, but not quite. With a junction, the
best I could get is:

c:\folder0\folder1\file1.ext
c:\folder0\folder2\file2.ext

I want to get it down to the next level.
