[citation][nom]Socrates047[/nom]you said it bro! I totally think there should be a better filing sysytem for personal files... especially if someone has several hard-drives or partitions waiting to be filled that are not the Local C drive.[/citation]
Then Windows 7 is for you! They gave you exactly what you wanted. You guys need to learn how to use Windows 7 (unless you were being sarcastic!)

"It's possible to create custom Libraries made up of arbitrary locations; the demos at PDC showed Libraries being used to group together all the files related to a given project or customer, for example. They're useful whenever an aggregated view of multiple locations is required.
The Libraries are also used throughout Windows 7. Prior to 7, Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center both had their own distinct library concept. In Windows 7, however, both of these programs use the Libraries visible in Explorer. This results in a far more consistent view of the media stored on the PC."

It may be take
one extra step but once you get your favorite folders added (many of mine are on the server - this works perfectly in Windows 7) the whole OS will have much more handy and consistent access to your favorite folders or files. I know it's different and it sucks having to change from what you're used to, but this is a much better way. All it takes is one click and drag to get whatever you want in its individual library and then it's right there no matter what application you're in.
If you don't think it's better, you probably don't know how to exploit it to its full potential. I had to learn how to run it, too, but now that I use it it's faster and more efficient than any previous way, and I've been using Windows and Apple's OS's for 10 years at work. This is a good way to do it, once you get used to it.
