[Question] Folder alias possible in Windows XP?

[Doc Symbiosis]

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.

I use that method to test my "deployement" too

Use 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

You can create junction points on the same volume, but to do so across volumes requires 3rd party software, unfortunately.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Works fine.

Thanks a lot.
