OK so i think i was able to get this VHD working and the one of the same issues with the other processes is that new files do not update.
I put one album in the folder and did the configuration and it worked and am able to see it in the music app. So I added one other album and it does not update. I had one movie in the VHD drive video folder and it recognized, added another, did not recognize.
So essentially, the problem that exist with the other ways of doing this still exist. Can anybody confirm that they can add new files to the folder without doing any setting updates and the music/video apps update with the new file real time?
I am assuming the configuration is some where in here:
"
- Set up automatic mounting on system startup.
- Win+W, type Schedule Tasks, enter.
- In the tree on the left side, click on "Task Scheduler Library".
- From the "Actions" pane, click on "Create Task"
- Put mount D:\disk.vhd (or anything you'd like) as the task name.
- Select "Run whether user is logged on or not"
- Check "Run with highest privileges"
- In Triggers tab, click on New, select "At startup" and press OK.
- In Actions tab, click on New. Select "Start a program" as Action. In program/script, put C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe. In add arguments, write exactly -command "mount-diskimage D:\disk.vhd".
- In Conditions tab, uncheck everything.
- Press OK
- Enter your Windows password and press OK.
- Restart the system and see if your new drive is visible after login
- Set up Windows Indexing.
- Win+W, type Indexing Options, enter
- Click on modify, check the new vhd drive (probably E).
- OK, Close.
"
The final link is pretty bad in terms of telling us what to do next. So i did manage library to each of the music, video, document, pictures folder i did. I changed the default to the vhd folder and added the folder to the libraries. Clearly it works since it recognizes the very initial music and video files.
Now im not sure what stops actually helps with the libraries recognizing new files such as my music and videos. Any suggestions?
FYI for people still doing this
"In Actions tab, click on New. Select "Start a program" as Action. In program/script, put C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe. In add
arguments, write exactly -command "mount-diskimage D:\disk.vhd".
When it says write exactly, you shouldn't, you should not have the last period.
