Is this possible?

Is there any way in Windows  that I can take several directories, lets call them

c:\docs1
c:\docs2
c:\docs3

and have them all listed so that the contents of the above 3 directories all list under the one folder

d:\alldocsshare

as an example.. Without using shortcuts
Is this possible?

Without any other third-party software No.  Not afaik.  A folder of shortcuts would be the only way.

Why do you want to do this?  So we can possibly suggest alternatives.

because I move files all over the place over several HDDs. Would be easier for me to point everything to one big place

I did have a look into it for you but couldnt find anything useful, every search I did came up with stuff relating to IIS, which isnt what you want. Have you looked for any software yourself yet to achieve it?

Set your HDs to Dynamic and create an extended partition over the HDs?

 Granted you run the redundacny risk of 1 partition, but it would give you 1 "big place".

There are very few options without third party software...

3rd party software is fine.

I dont want to Sync - If I did, Id just run a raid setup & I dont want to run a raid.

The Idea is I can add & pull disks at anytime & everything would show in 1 directory.

I believe it can be done in Linux :-(

Basically, I got Movies spread over 4 HDDs atm.

I want to catalog them all & launch them all from within a piece of software...
Or just Generate an HTML list of the files that I can just click on to Autoplay.
