FileLink brings hard link functionality to Windows, enabling users to create multiple directory entries for a single file. This conserves disk space while allowing access via different paths.

  • Pros

    • Creates multiple names for a single file on Windows.
    • Saves disk space by avoiding file duplication.
    • Changes to one link reflect in all links.
    • Accessible from multiple directories with different names.

  • Cons

    • Links must reside on the same disk partition.
    • Requires NTFS 5 or higher formatted disk drives.
    • Only compatible with NT2000 or higher operating systems.

Developer’s Description

By GdP Software
Create a second name for an existing file.
Unix users know and love it, now Windows users have the ability to give a single file multiple names. If you have the existing file C:\DOCS\FILE.DOC and execute the command FileLink C:\MEMO\ANOTHER.DOC C:\DOCS\FILE.DOC, the data of the file will exist only once, but it is accessible in 2 directories using 2 different names. Changes to the contents of one file affect both. Limitations: The link must be on the same disk. The disk-drive must be formatted using NTFS 5 or higher. NT2000 or higher.
