Smj Mount

If you have several directories that you access on a regular basis and they are buried deep within various parent folders, then one alternative to consider is to mount them as virtual drives.

Smj Mount is a tiny, handy utility that enables you to create a virtual hard disk from any folder on your computer, but that can be accessed considerably easier.

First off, it is necessary to mention that in order for the application to work properly, it is recommended that you disable the UAC on your system. It goes without saying that you should be logged in as administrator and then access the app's settings to disable the User Account Control.

Functionality-wise, the program is as simple to use as it looks and you can mount the folders with just one click. More precisely, after you specify the source folder along with the desired label for the drive, simply click Mount and you can access the new virtual drive from Windows Explorer.  You can unmount the folder at any time by checking it the corresponding box in the upper area of the UI.

You will be happy to learn that the application provides you with a straightforward method to protect your data with a password. The passkey can be changed as often as you want by accessing the option in the program's Settings. Regardless of whether you need to protect the files, you should know that you can easily move or copy them as you would normally do.

On the other hand, since the newly created virtual drives are not real, you should bear in mind that console commands, such as diskcopy, chkdsk or diskcomp, for instance, do not work or can lead to various errors. Consequentially, it is advisable to avoid using command line commands with these volumes.

Whether you work with data that is buried deep within several folders or perhaps you are just looking for a way to access your files faster, Smj Mount can be worth a try.
