1. What is "Virtual Drive Explorer"?

"Virtual Drive Explorer"  program designed to make access to 
frequently used folders of your computer easier. It is also used 
to create, edit and remove virtual drives of your computer. 
"Virtual Drive Explorer" creates virtual drives on the basis of 
selected folders. Physical drives remain unchanged and are not 
divided into additional partitions.


Example 1: 
By default the folder "My Documents" is situated in the 
operational system "MS Windows XP" rather uncomfortably:

"C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\"

With the help of the program "Virtual Drive Explorer" you 
can create a virtual drive - for example drive "R:\" and 
select "My Documents" folder. After that, in your system 
the drive "R:\" will appear in which your documents will 
be kept. To access your documents you just click the drive 
icon "R:\" and there is no need to look for it 
in a folders tree. 


Example 2: 
You can create virtual drives for any folders with which you 
work often. For example, you can create drive "M:\" for the 
folder with your musical files "d:\archive\music\", 
drive "V:\" for the folder with your video files "d:\archive\music\" 
or drive "G:\" for the folder with your games and you do not need 
to divide your hard drive into additional partitions for that.
