The NTFS file system implemented in NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP64, and Windows7 supports a facility known as hard links (referred to herein as Hardlinks). Hardlinks provide the ability to keep a single copy of a file yet have it appear in multiple folders (directories). They can be created with the POSIX command ln included in the Windows Resource Kit, the fsutil command utility included in Windows XP or my command line ln.exe utility Thus, using standard Windows facilities Hardlinks can only be created at the command prompt, which can be tedious, especially when Hardlinks to multiple files are required or when one only makes occasional use of Hardlinks. Support for Junctions in standard Microsoft software offerings is even more limited than that offered for Hardlinks.

Weil du NDS, ADS, NIS und LDAP nicht für politische Parteien hältst. Weil du bei "Tier" nicht an die afrikanische Tiefebene denkst. Du sorgst für Benutzerrecht und Datenordnung. Du spürst Idle-Faulenzer auf. Du bist der King of Anti-Hot-Locking. Du bist der Held des Systems.
