MKLINK – Create and Use Links in Windows

No Problem! I believe it only applies to Vista and above. Nicely documented write-up, that was the refresher I needed to get things done.

does this command work for files?

i try this:
D:\Users\Desktop>mklink /h ..\Documents\link.pdf original_file.pdf

it works.. i did a dir/w to confirm it is not using disk space.. and when i copy to another drive.. it copy like normal file.

but am i doing it correct?

ok.. Will this work with other installation or other OS?

Yes! That /d option is a real winner. But does it have limitations? I need to know if there is a limit on the number of clients trying to access files located at a symbolic directory link created by the /d option. Thanks in advance for any help you could provide.

Yesterday I posted a reply, but it did not persist in this blog. But today, when I post a reply, yesterdays post shows up. At least it did the first time.

Okay! This tutorial takes up two pages - and I'm on page 2!

Very useful guide, but I'm still unclear about when and why to use default file flag or /D directory flags. -
