Faking Symlinks on Windows (Win2K + NTFS)

Every once in a while I'll bang my head against something really difficult. I needed to make symlinks, Windows won't let me. The workaround is a couple files in the Win2K Resource Kit called linkd.exe and delrp.exe

It only works on folders as far as I can tell, there is another program from SysInternals called Junction which will do both (although I only had success with files, not folders).

I hope this helps those who have experienced this same problem. One step closer to portable applications
