We have shown in a recent tutorial how Windows users can move large applications, files and folders to another hard drive without breaking anything in the progress. Think of large games like Dragon Age and Steam games or applications like Nero, Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop. The tutorial was also handy for users who were forced to install a software on the main hard drive by the installer but did not want to do so. This could be fixed afterwards with the help of symbolic links which basically are redirections from one location on the hard drive to another.
NTFS Links View is a brand new Nirsoft application that displays all symbolic links and junction points on a NTFS hard drive in its interface.
All the user needs to do is to point it to a location on the hard drive, the rest is done by the program which will then list all symbolic links and junction points with their name, full and target path and type in its interface.
It looks like the program scans the selected folder plus the first level of subfolders for the links to display those.
The usual Nirsoft options like generating an HTML report or saving the selected information are offered as well.
NTFS Links View is a handy program for users who want to analyze the symbolic links and junction points on their system. The program is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Windows operating system. It can be downloaded from the Nirsoft website.
