How do I create a document library in a virtual directory?

[Gumbolia]

Hi all, Pretty new at this, My sharepoint team page is in the default web site. I am trying to create a document library in a virtual directory I have created pointing to my data drive for backup purposes. Any suggestions or help would be great. Thanks again, Gumby

Alright, find "Documents" and click that link.

On the next page, you'll see a link that says "Create Document Library" - it will be above any existing document libraries, if there, to the right of the menu bar on the left, and below the heading "Your site name" and a large "Documents and Lists".

I have no problem with that part, but sharepoint allways puts the library in the root of the default web. I want to have it created in a virtual directory created in the default web. When I create a document library there is no place to specify where to create it in. this is my delema, I want to create it in a different directory other than the default.

Hmm, I would imagine that is more on the "real admin" side for lack of a better term. Maybe that is where you are, but I do not have access to some settings although I am an admin on our SharePoint site at work.

If you have an department or individual over that sort of item, then I would suggest you see if you can request a change in such settings. But I do not think it can be done from the default site admin access.
