Samba Share into Library in Windows 7

  1. Create a folder on your hard drive for shares. i.e. ‚c:\share‘
  2. Create another folder in the above share. i.e. ‚c:\share\mydata‘
  3. Link the Library to this folder.
  4. Delete the folder. i.e. ‚mydata‘
  5. Use the mklink in an elevated command prompt to make a symbolic link. Name the link the same as the folder you created above.
    i.e ‚mklink /d c:\share\mydata \\server\mydata‘ (needs Administrator rights)
  6. Done. Now you have non-indexed UNC path as a library.
