DO9: Junctions and Symbolic Links under Vista

[Wang]

Hi!

Is there a way to create a junction or a symbolic link in vista directly from opus without using mklink?

Thx, W@ng

The Copy and Paste commands can be used to create links/junctions. The old Clipboard PASTESHORTCUT and Copy MAKESHORTCUT arguments have been replaced by PASTELINK and MAKELINK (although the old forms still work too). By default these commands still create shortcuts, however you can use the argument to specify a different type to create. Valid arguments are: junction, hardlink, softlink and auto. Note that junctions can only be made for directories, and hardlinks can only be made for files. Soft links support both folders and files but only work under Vista. If you specify "auto", the "best" type will be chosen (e.g., under Vista this will be a soft link, and under 2000/XP it will be a junction for a folder and a hardlink for a file.) Note that due to the wisdom of Microsoft, creating softlinks under Vista requires administrator access (e.g. elevation).
