I hope I worded that right... Anyway... while writing a VB program I noticed something. In the file explorer under C:\Users\Username\ you see folders like My Documents and My Pictures. When you look at them in command prompt, you see that they are actually called Documents and Pictures. Weird.

Now lets say I want to make a folder, in VB, named My Files, but I want it to point to the actual folder Files. How would I do that?

I can't vouch for this but I've heard you can achieve it through Create A Special Folder In Windows Explorer. I would definitely backup your registry first.

You can make "virtual folders" with Namespace Extensions. It's a pain with .NET. There are components like EZNamespaceExtensions.Net that make the process a little easier.
