Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Open a command prompt and type mklink /? Simple and easy to use. I use directory symlinks for a lot of redirection. Apps don't even know. For instance I have games like World of Warcraft, Star Wars Online, Diablo III, etc installed on my SSD but their large multi-gigabyte data files are on a secondary platter drive. They don't even hiccup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentAssassin 96 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) If you're thinking of just redirecting your documents, videos, music folder then it is simple. I have it on all my computers to point them all to my server (not AD). If you open your user folder, browse to C:\users\%username% you will see all your user data folders. Right click these and select properties. You will see a location tab in the properties windows from where you can set a new location. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/redirect-folder-new-location#1TC=windows-7 Edited February 15, 2014 by SilentAssassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
