A system and method for virtual folder and sharing items. The sharing items includes utilization of static and dynamic lists. A static list consists of a folder of items that are in a specific order, while a dynamic list gathers a set of items based on a scope and a set of criteria. A routine (300) from which a user provides a query that draws back selected items. The folder processor gets a query from a user (302). The folder processor passes the query to the relational database (304). The relational database provides the results back to the folder processor (306). And the folder processor provides the results to the user in the form of virtual folders and Items (308). When items are to be shared, they are left in place on the sharer's machine, while the systems ensures that the permissions are set, and any security issues are handled so that the sharees are able to access the system.
