Explorer: can I make a link/shortcut to a folder in another location?
I like to organize my files and folders very thoroughly. Sometimes I have a folder full of files that arguably belong in multiple locations. I'm wondering if there's a way to create a sort of "wormhole" that leads to another location. Let me give you an example:
Let's say I went on vacation and have a bunch of subfolders within C:\Vacation photos\. Subfolders including:
C:\Vacation photos\Food photos\
C:\Vacation photos\Selfies\
C:\Vacation photos\Hotel\
C:\Vacation photos\Sistine Chapel\
etc.
The last one contains photos of the beautiful architecture of the Sistine Chapel that I took while on vacation.
But let's say I'm an architecture connoisseur and I have another folder where I keep lots of pictures of architecture from all over the world:
C:\Pictures\Architecture\
Now, rather than copying all the pictures from C:\Vacation photos\Sistine Chapel\ over to C:\Pictures\Architecture\ and taking up twice the HDD space, I'm wondering if there's a way to create a folder or a link or shortcut or something within C:\Pictures\Architecture\ that leads to C:\Vacation photos\Sistine Chapel\, kind of like a "teleport" or a "wormhole".
I know Windows has a Libraries feature, but for reasons I don't want to elaborate on I really don't like Windows Libraries and would prefer not to deal with it at all.
Is this possible, without actually copying the files and taking up more HDD space?
Thanks.
