TIP:
I usually take backup of my thumbdrive in a particular location, say D:\Usb. Now, when the thumbdrive is not connected, with VirtualSubst I can map the Usb back up folder to a drive letter which would have been assigned if thumbdrive was connected. So my backup folder acts as a virutal usb drive with the advantage of having active linking of most recent files list in my Word or any app. This also helps in creating desktop shortcuts of files present in the thumbdrive, which can be accessed if the thumbdrive is connected or not.
