I've been acquiring new hard drives over the years as I rip more CDs, take more photos, etc.  As you'd imagine, it gets harder to keep track of what is where, what's worth keeping, what's not, etc.  I finally lost it yesterday and took a few hours to write something to create a single virtual drive.  It's nothing fancy like a file system driver, but simply a Windows Explorer-like app that shows all of the drives you want (including networked drives) as a single drive.  I have no idea if anyone else would find this useful.  If so, let me know and I'll clean it up and post the source on my site (and get a better icon).

“Features”

• User picks which drives to use in the virtual drive, including network drives.  (This is good for me because my “server“ machine has two internal and two external.)
• Folder tree view is an aggregate view of all of the folders on all the drives.  For example, although I have two or three “\Documents and Settings\Jeff“ folders on different drives, it shows up only once.  Every file is shown.
• Send files/folders to the recycle bin.
• View file/folder properties.
• Open files.
• That is all.
