Problem:

How to make a symlink or anything similar on windows?

Solution:

According to many sites, windows vista and newer has a built-in hability to do junctions (aka symlink on windows) due it’s new file system, but i don’t want all the gayness of vista, so i’m stuck on xp.

I found out that you can also do junctions on windows xp, although the manual method is not easy. But then i came across this post and found out that sysinternals has a tool to make things easy.

Neat huh?

In case you’re wondering, i’m using this “windows symlink” to freeup space on my o/s drive, since i made (long time ago) a setup with not so much space on that partittion and i don’t want to format, i just did a couple of symlinks to another drive, it worked flawlessly.
