FREE: Hard-link Creator for Windows Visit Site Download Now (540 Kb)
UNIX fans have been familiar with hard-links for quite some time. A hard-link makes it appear as though a file is located in more than one place at a time, when in reality, only one copy exists. This is different than shortcuts which point back to the original location. Hard-links can be access directly by any of your software programs, and they think they are accessing the file in the directory where the hard-link is setup. This capability has been in Windows NT and later, but Microsoft has not provided any means for end users to configure them. This utility integrates itself into the context menus for right-clicking and right-dragging in Explorer.
