Shortcuts without Partitioning

[omyek]

I had this great idea today, which would let me combine my partitioned hard drive back to one partition. But it wouldn't work and i know there has to be a way to do this.

What I want to do is create shortcuts in Windows Explorer in the same location as my C: drive, cd-rom, zip drive, control panel, etc. (all located one dir under My Computer) I noticed when I installed Homesite, it added a little "applet" in that location, so I think there has to be a way.

I like this idea because then I could make shortcuts named D:, F: drive if i wanted to, only they would still be on the C: drive. (makes a lot quicker transfers from one "partition" to another.

A search of the registry for the Allaire FTP thing (from Homesite) led me to HKLM\software\classes\clsid\{insert weird hex number here}

This seems the most probable spot, but I have no idea what could be done.

or in a place similar to where "My Documents" is located under the Desktop. But it seems any shortcut I place in that location doesn't appear under windows explorer as My Documents does. weird. i know there has to be a way. . .

Win2K has something like this built in. Instead of giving each partition its own drive letter, you can mount it as an NTFS folder. So, if I have a partition full of MP3s, I can simply mount it as C:\MP3s without giving it its own drive letter.

I don't know if something similar exists for Win9x.

hrm. searches from the web yield nothing.

is this restricted to only ntfs partitions? because i'm
using fat32 partitions. and if not, how would i do this?

i've tried the disk management utility to no avail.
