When viewing the GAC,especially in SharePoint development, is pretty annyoing that you can actually interact with thing and you dont get the nice windows thing that allows you to say drag and drop things in there.
What you do actually see is an composite view of the different files and folders that are stored within the GAC but its kind of annoying since you cant do anything with it and when developing for SharePoint you really like to see what is going on in there.
Fortunately there is a really,simple cool way to map the GAC to a drive number. Open up a DOS prompt an type in:
SUBST L: C:\Windows\assembly
The “L:” is the drive that you want to map the GAC to so it can be anything that is not currently taken up.
Then you get a normal view that looks like below where you can delete and simply drag and drop contents into (although obviously not in production!!)
