Feature request - "My Documents" as substitute dri

[pastone]

No doubt this has already been requested, but as XP becomes more dominant the issue is likely to become more important.

My request is that TC should treat (or perhaps give the user the option to configure) the user's "My Documents" folder structure as a notional or substitute drive, such as X:

This would reduce the length of pathnames at the top of a TC pane. It would also allow improved navigation.

Best wishes,

Well, Sometimes I think there could be at least "My computer" in the list of drives - then you could also have a quick access to "Documents and Settings" directories. Now you can only use an internal command "cm_OpenDrives" - unfortunately on WinXp it shows several (one for each user) directories with the same name "My documents" instead of eg. "My Documents - John".
I also can not add such a directory to directories menu (CTRL_D) - I mean I can add, but I can't switch to it .

So now the only way (AFAIK) to quick access to your documents is to go to this directory in common way and add this (CTRL_D) to the directories menu.

This works for me (you have to use e.g. cm_OpenDesktop instead of cd \\Desktop) - AFAIK you need V5.51.

You are right, but you must correct it manually after adding with Ctrl_D.

Thanks for the shortcut \\ - I didn't know it.

Thanks to all who replied, especially norfie, whose suggestion to use the "subst" command has solved my problem. I last used "subst" before Windows 95, but it is still there in XP.
