It can mount an entire filesystem to a drive letter, or to a mount point within another mounted drive. Note: this method only works for entire filesystems. If you want to link just a directory, then use the Junction stuff above. On another note, why can't one "Junction" a file? We've had this functionality as part of a standard build in Linux/*BSD for *years*.

I think it's better HardLink ShellExtension, you can use it for junctions, hardlinks, and symbolic links. http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html Hi Why do it with the command prompt?
