Treat folders mapped to drive letter as own drive

[vertigo]

I suspect this is due to a Windows limitation, and there might not be anything that can be done about it, but I have D:\S_Drive mapped to S:\ via registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\DOS Devices -- String -- S: -- \??\D:\S_Drive\) and when I searched for something I knew was on the D: drive, when I tried opening it, it didn't open. After frustrating me for a minute, I realized the problem was that it was showing two results for every file on D:, one for D:\...file and one for S:\...file, because Everything sees S: and D: as the same drive due to the mapping. In order to fix this, I had to exclude D:\S_Drive, but that ideally shouldn't be required at all. The bigger issue, though, is that results for files in D:\S_Drive don't show as S:\file, which is how they are in explorer if opening the S: "drive," but as S:\S_Drive\file, which isn't even a real location. Not only does this look strange, but I have Everything set to open the path in explorer by double-clicking it, but attempting to do so in this case just results in an error that Windows can't find the path, unsurprisingly.

Thank you for your post vertigo,

Everything doesn't like the trailing slash in \??\D:\S_Drive\

Please try removing the trailing slash.
For example:
\??\D:\S_Drive

subst doesn't add the trailing slash.

I will allow for a trailing slash in the next Everything 1.5 alpha.



You will still need to exclude D:\S_Drive if you don't want these files to show.

Thanks! I had to wait until a reboot to test the change, but removing the trailing slash did the trick. Working as expected now.
