Using Symlinks in Windows Vista

One of the long-awaited features in Windows Vista was the ability to use symbolic links, the way you can in linux. Sadly, they don’t work quite as well as they could, but it’s a big upgrade from prior versions, and has solved a number of problems for me already.

I’ve been looking forward to this feature since the first time I used it in Linux and then heard it was coming to Vista. If used correctly, this can be incredibely useful (and powerful).
