You can already do this anyway and it's what I do on a Mac with a small
script ... No reason why it shouldn't be just as possible on a PC. Just
create a single shared "Movies" directory and in there put
shortcuts to each
individual movies directory - I use a shell script to do this for me under
OSX but there's no reason you couldn't put together something similar in
windows I assume.
