Win 7, show two folders as one?
I have two hard drives (one internal, one usb, both connected to the same PC), each has a 'movies' folder. Can I somehow view both 'movies' folders in one folder as though all files resided together?
Solution 1:
If you are using Windows 7, that's exactly what the "Libraries" are for.
You probably even already have a "Videos" library, you just need to add the folders you wish to include in that library.
More information from Microsoft on using Libraries in Windows 7: Libraries
Blurb:
Libraries—new in Windows 7—make it easier to find, work with, and organize files scattered across your PC or network. A library brings your stuff together in one place—no matter where it's actually stored.

Solution 2:
Right-click at Videos
library, select properties
, click Add
and find the video folder you want to add. Repeat once more to add the second folder. You'll have them both appear under "Videos" now. To 'merge' 2 groups, right click -> Arange by
-> select anything but folder.
Note: I'm using Windows 8 atm, but I believe the process is very similar, if not the same, in windows 7.
