== Virtual Folders ==

A new feature in WinNc are the virtual folders. They are similar to the Windows 7 libraries.
Within a virtual folder, files or folder can be 'copied' which will create a 'link' to the copied files


Thus within a virtual folder a collection files and folders from different sources can be made. This can be used for:

- Creating an archive

- Browsing similar files from different sources

- Synchronizing



'''Create a new virtual folder:'''

- In the drive toolbar click on 'Virtual'

- Double click on 'New...' item in the panel

- Give the folder a name

- Browse in the new virtual folder

- Drag items from the other panel into the virtual folder.
