win2k3 doing a unix/linux style folder mount how ?

[McBunny]

im sure you can mount a folder like in unix/linux so it appears to be somewhere else


say you have a a directory on your d drive but want it to appear on your c drive but cant have it there due to space how do i do it

Hard Links, google will take you to a program.

IIRC you can do it via the computer manager snap-in under drive manager.

Just right click the drive you want to change and select 'change drive letters and paths' then select an empty NTFS folder to mount to.

Hard Links are what you want, but you'll need some external program to create them as AFAIK microsoft only extended the windows API to create them, there was no "user interface" to create them.

There are loads of programs to create them.
