Map One Logical Folder to Another

Comment:
I would like to be able to map (or link) one logical folder to another on a different harddrive. I remember finding a program a couple years back that would trick the system into thinking one folder was really another, but I can't find it. I think it was JumpLink or something.
Anyway, I want to be able to do this: When the system wants to access 'C:\Program Files\' it will really access 'D:\Applications\Default\' but still think it's on the former drive.
I am not looking to use 'subst' either. I just want to map that folder to the other.

I want it mapped so that certain programs that can't have the install dir selected will be on the drive I want and MS programs can be where I want them without any problems (ie: Internet Explorer).
There are things in the registry that make it impossible to physically move all the files, so I need to pretend to keep them in their current location.
