Doc Symbiosis Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I wanted to test a new version of WPI and since I don't want to copy my whole app-directory to the test-version.So is it possible in XP to make an folder alias like in linux or MacOS? Means, that for example I want the folder c:\install\setupfiles just be a pointer to the folder d:\setupfiles, so that when I run "dir c:\install\setupfiles", the actual content of d:\setupfiles is displayed.Any help would be appreciated.Title edited -- Please, use [TAGS] in your topic's title.Please follow XP Forum Rules from now on.--Sonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I use that method to test my "deployement" tooUse Junction from sysinternal, it's command line and works great. There is other sofwrae with GUI but in batch Junction it's the best for me http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Junction.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 You can create junction points on the same volume, but to do so across volumes requires 3rd party software, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
