That's good to know, thanks for sharing.
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?
Hi Absoluthk, welcome to the Seven Forums.
MKLINK command does not physically move the file or folder. Your original_file.pdf stays where it was, the link created in Documents\link.pdf is just a link, kind of shortcut.

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