how do I make a folder on my computer appear to be "F:" drive?

[NotGiven]

I have done this before but it's been a while. Thanks.

if your in windows explorer or a screen where you a saving
a file or viewing folders, just click on the folder or
drive that you want to place the new folder in and there
are a few ways to do this.

click on file, new, folder
or
sometimes you will see a folder button, that creates a new
folder
or
right click on the folder or drive you want to create the
new folder in and choose new folder.

Do you have an "F" drive? If not...............well

cool. I've just tried this out. If I delete the virtual drive, will all the
data in the original folder also be deleted? or is it just the mapping that
is lost?

Josh and Byte, you misread the question.

Type this in Command Prompt.

Subst F: <Folder name with full path>
