Virtual Volumes View Portable v1.5 Updated

Andrew Lee on 7 Jan 2024
  • 9MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 3 Jan 2024
  • Suggested by JohnTHaller

VVV is an application that catalogs the content of removable volumes like CD and DVD disks for off-line searching. This allows you to keep an index of all the files on multiple drives and optical media in a single location. Folders and files can also be arranged in a single, virtual file system. Each folder of this virtual file system can contain files from many disks so you can arrange your data in a simple and logical way. VVV also stores metadata information from MP3 files: author, title, album and so on.

Export to spreadsheet (CSV format) available.

VVV Portable is a PortableApps version of the original program.

@graydusts
WOW I was not aware of it.....thanks

@Wolfghost - All our apps have an INI that lets you disable the splash. You can disable them all in the PortableApps.com Platform in the Options window as well. Unless the splash is built into the app itself, of course, like GIMP et al, in which case you need to follow the directions for disabling the splash in the base app.

Virtual Drives Manager v1.0b

webfork on 12 Nov 2020
  • 213KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

Virtual Drives Manager is a tool for defining virtual drives in your filesystem. Virtual drives are symbolic links that points to existing directories on your filesystem. This is essentially a graphical version of subst.exe.

Note: This application periodically tries to contact www.appcontrols.com. If you are using a personal firewall, you can simply block it from accessing the network. But if you are really fussy about such things, then you might not want to use the program at all.

Category:
Runs on:Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP
Writes settings to: Windows registry, but does not affect the portability of the application.
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch VirtualDrives.exe.

Another way of solving the above "phoning home" issue is to edit you 'hosts' file and point www.appcontrols.com to 127.0.0.1 -- be forewarned though that, should you do this, you won't be able to open the webpage without reversing the edit...

Updated to version 2.0 and turned shareware

cowlinator on 2021-09-02 23:15

Works on Windows 10 20H2 64-bit.

Ayatar on 2023-01-28 16:41

Works on Windows Server 2019. Used it to map to Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive. Had to download old versions of Box and OneDrive to make it work, but that is not the fault of Visual Subt, it was a limitation with Server 2019.

vSubst v1.8.0.2

  • 18KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 31 May 2017
  • Suggested by calm_observer

vSubst helps assign virtual drive letters to any folder on your hard disk. It is a graphical interface for the SUBST command. The limitations are:

  • SUBSTed-drives don't operate 100% in networks
  • Some copy-protected CD-ROMs check for the physical presence of a disk
  • Volume-Label is always identical to the host label

You can also share a folder and permanently map a drive to that share. This way your driveletter survives reboots.

Update: after extensive use, although program had a lot of promise but its unfortunately really buggy. Drag and drop outside of the window doesn't work, wouldn't refresh a new cd that was inserted, and many, many minor glitches. Pass on this one.
