Why do you need to be an administrator to use this feature? I sometimes think that every developer in Redmond should have Windows taken away for a year so they can learn some other viewpoint other than their own. Understanding how useful symlinks are in general usage would be quite enlightening to them.

En el segundo párrafo pone:
“los enlaces simbólicos pueden apuntar a un archivo, un Mando de las Naciones Unidas, una carpeta o volumen, así como capaz de abarcar los sistemas de archivos.”
Pues yo, por mucho que lo intento no consigo apuntar a un Mando de las Naciones Unidas con MKLINK

Hello,
I congratulate you on your work, but I have to sub a difficult question, that if you manage to resolve you make a DONATION.

I need to make a symbolic link to the DESKTOP folder, but unfortunately after the fact you can not delete files or folders from DESKTOP due to a limitation of EXPLORER WIN XP, but the problem is resolved in VISTA!
If you find the solution you’re a big and I will compensate you for your effort have found.
Greetings.

Buongiorno,
mi complimento per il tuo lavoro, ma ho da sottoporti un quesito difficilissimo, che se riuscirai a risolvere ti farò una DONAZIONE.

Ho la necessità di fare un LINK SIMBOLICO alla cartella DESKTOP, ma purtroppo dopo averlo fatto non mi sarà più possibile cancellare file o cartelle dal DESKTOP a causa di una limitazione di EXPLORER di WIN XP, mentre il problema è stato risolto in VISTA!
Se trovi la soluzione sei un grande ed io compenserò il tuo sforzo per averla trovata.
Saluti.

you can’t execute symlinks, for that you need to make a shortcut the normal way. A symlink is more usefull for ppl to read a certain file wich is in a folder they normaly can’t go to. Or the same file is needed on 2 different folder locations, but you dont want to edit 2 seperate files all the time.

Thanks for the post, but I don’t see the point of creating a symlink to a file. In your example, you created a symlink called “foo” pointing to notepad.exe, but what can you do to the file “foo”? It’s not executable, even after I rename it to foo.exe.

Thanks.

I cannot figure out how to go to or switch to a symbolic link after it is created. How do you do it? I can’t find instructions for this mentioned anywhere.
