Link Folder

Link Folder is a super handy Windows shell extension that lets you create folder links to existing folders. So, what’s a folder link? Well, it’s like a junction point or symbolic link that points to another folder, which we call the target folder. The cool part is that the folder link shows up like its target folder but in a different spot, and any Windows app can use it without even noticing. Think of it as a symbolic link for directories on Unix systems.

Why Use Link Folder?

Sometimes, you might want to share a folder for different purposes. In those cases, creating a folder link in another location pointing to your shared folder is super useful!

A Common Issue Solved

If you’ve ever used linkd.exe from Microsoft’s Windows 2000 Resource Kit to create a folder link, you know how risky it can be. If you delete the folder link without thinking, it could also delete files in the target folder without any warning! Yikes! This issue has made many people hesitant about using junction points in newer versions of Windows.

The great news is that Link Folder fixes this problem! Once it's installed, it checks if you're about to delete a folder link. If you are, Link Folder will remove the junction point before deleting the actual link. This way, your files stay safe!
