Symbolic links are very nice thing with Linux , On windows on the other hand this is not really done so easily , but a tool i came across an year ago which makes things very easy.
It called Junction and is available on this website
- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx
- You have to download this to you machine , I downloaded and extracted it in my c:\Junction folder
- Use CMD to get to this directory
I lookup help on this tool by running /? as a wildcard - Then simply run
Junction <target directory> <Junction target>
Now it will show you created and targeted as shown above - Now test it out , by opening the directory
Now you are ready to use the junctions and Symbolic links as per your need :)
Please do comment :)
What if I delete the newly created junction, will the target directory get affected?
ReplyDeleteYou can safely delete , the newly created junction without any problems.
