Combining shares or folders
Hi,
Is there anyway in WIN2K or WIN2003 to combine shares/folders so that I can open one share/folder and display the content off all combined share/folders.
My problem: I have a filserver with 1.6Mio documents (1.1Mio Folders), and at times I want to email certain documents to clients. These documents are updated by the departments periodically - I now have to look for all the documents every time and it would be nice to have a share where the content of those selected folders are displayed!
Any help is appretiated
Thanks

Was not able to it with DFS alone, but the topic did widen my Knoledge base - thanks for that! I also wrote an ASP application and in combination with DFS was able to solve my problem!
create a new share folder and have shortcuts to other shared folders in that folder? so in a way, you are looking at all the shares from a single location.
