- Sure, I do it all the time. Use the drives icon to find the directory you want
- and then make a shadow of it. This is done by holding down Ctrl-Shift, then
- dragging (RMB) the directory folder to your preferred destination, releasing
- the mouse button, and releasing Ctrl-Shift. Now double-clicking on this
- shadowed folder will show you the files in that directory.
