Download Visual Subst 5.8 Full Version

Having to navigate through the same deep folder structures repeatedly can be one of the most tedious and frustrating tasks on your computer. That's why Windows allows us to create shortcuts. The best way to access your folders is by using Visual Subst. Instead of cluttering your desktop with new shortcuts, this user-friendly tool presents your folders as virtual drives in Windows Explorer, so you can just open a window and jump directly to your folder, no matter how deep it is.

Visual Subst is free to try with some limitations. It is compatible with all modern Windows systems and works right out of the box. This means you don’t need to install any additional tools or services beforehand. Moreover, the hardware requirements are modest, so you won’t notice any impact on your computer's performance.

The program's functionality is very straightforward. It presents your virtual drives in a list on a built-in user interface, along with options to create new drives. All you need to do is select a drive letter, name the new drive, and point it to a folder on your hard drive using the standard browsing option. Once everything is set, just click a button and the program will instantly mount the new drive.

Features of Visual Subst

As mentioned earlier, the folders you target in Visual Subst appear as separate drives in Windows Explorer. This makes accessing them much easier, especially if they are located within a deep folder structure. Instead of navigating through a thick layer of folders or cluttering your desktop with new shortcuts, you can simply open an Explorer window and go straight to your folder.

You can remove individual drives at any time with a single click if you no longer need them. Alternatively, if you need to keep them active all the time, you can save your drive selections and set Visual Subst to run automatically at startup. This way, you will always have a handy shortcut to your favorite folder ready to go, without overloading your desktop with icons.

It's hard to think of a more efficient way to set up folder shortcuts after using Visual Subst.

Pros:
You can mount folder shortcuts as virtual drives. The program allows you to create any number of drives while navigating. It doesn’t consume a lot of resources, so you can run it continuously.

Cons:
The trial version only allows you to create drives for a limited number of library folders.
