I've read a lot of about symlinks (symlink, junction, hardlink, etc.) and download a few software to create symlinks (symlink creator, link shell extension) but I can't create a symlink that acts as the original Documents and Settings folder!
So, in total commander, when i open the 'D&S' dir the path change to c:\Users\ but when i do this with my own created symlink it's just not work in this way: "c:\test\mylink" <==> c:\test2\destination\ and a path is: c:\test\mylink\ but with the destination folder's files and folders in it! I hope I've described my problem understandably :) !
Thanks in advance!
ps:
i'v tried the following cmd commands:
- mklink c:\test c:\test2 (works)
- mklink /d c:\test1 c:\test2 (works)
- mklink /j c:\test1 c:\test2 (works)
- mklink /h c:\test1 c:\test2 (this not works and returns "access denied" as it only works with files)
An example:
- i have this existing folder: c:\test2\
- there's a readme.txt file in it
- write this in cmd: mklink /d c:\test1 c:\test2
- it creates the link named test1 and when i open it i see the readme.txt BUT the PATH is "c:\test1" NOT "c:\test2" which i want to!
