Can the path be shorter?

Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to force the Windows Search function to display the path to a CD drive as:

D:\foldername

rather than:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\foldername

It is very inconvenient trying to determine which folder a file is in when you have to ajust the column width so that the entire path is shown, and then having to scroll backwards and forwards.

I am using Drag and Drop to copy files from a CD drive to several other locations on my network, so I need several instances of Explorer to be open and visible at the same time.

It is not too bad for the ‘shorter’ paths, but some of the folders are 7 levels deep.

If anyone has a solution or a work-around, I will be very grateful.

Thanks
