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.
