[QUOTE="portal user, post: 45859, member: 18084"] Hi, Why not use ntfslink? From [url]http://www.elsdoerfer.info/ntfslink/[/url]. So, what's a hard link anyway? If you are an experienced user of any *nix operating system (i.e. Linux) and familiar with file systems such as ext2, ext3 or reiserfs, you probably know what a hard link is. If you do not, this is what the Platform SDK says: A hard link is the file system representation of a file by which more than one path references a single file in the same volume. Many changes to that file are instantly visible to applications that access it through the hard links that reference it. However, the directory entry size and attribute information is updated only for the link through which the change was made. In short: A hard link allows you have the very same file in multiple locations in your file system, without wasting additional space. The difference to a shortcut is, that a hard link represents exactly the linked file. An application can open the file and write to it, without even knowing it is a link. I think I remember that someone reported it working with MP Best Regards Portal user [/QUOTE]
