Problem
Windows 7 has a nice little feature which allows you to mount a volume as a folder rather than a drive letter. This can be useful for something like ITUNES where you have a drive full of music and you would just like to see it as a folder.
Resolution
To do this follow these quick instructions.
1) On your standard C drive create a folder with a name of your choice.
