| Post subject: | Windows "shortcut" help. |
Does anybody have any idea how I can make a shortcut in Windows that behaves like a symbolic link with Linux (or any other *nix possibly)? So if I have a shortcut "songs" in the folder "C:\StepMania" that actually points to the folder "F:\DDR\songs\", executing C:\StepMania\StepMania.exe will want to access the folder "C:\StepMania\songs\" but will actually end up in "F:\DDR\songs\". Right? I've heard about "junctions" but that's only possible with NTFS 5.0, and I'd like to stick with FAT32 here. |

As far as I know there is no way to do it with FAT32; however why anyone in their right mind is using FAT32 for their main partition is beyond me. I think that you're right about junctions on NTFS; but I have no idea how they work. |

I try to spend as little time as possible on Windows, but when it can't be helped I prefer to at least be able to properly access anything I do there from Linux when necessary. |

There's a ton of DOS commands to do that kind of stuff. Here's a list and explanation of all of them, one of them is bound to work. I really don't know exactly what you need (a virtual-drive maybe?), but this should help. http://www.easydos.com/dosindex.html |
