Use “Link Shell Extension†to create clones of your files and folders on a single drive Review & Download Link | freewaregenius.com
However, “Link Shell Extension†offers three ways in which you can do this, as follows:
Junctions: are straightforward clones of folder (i.e. the new hardlinked folder is equivalent to and points to the same folder data as the original). Junctions (hardlinked folders) have a little “chain†on their icons that mark them as such.
Hardlink clones: in this case, it is not really the folder that is cloned but, instead, the folder structure of the original folder is copied and all the files inside are cloned.
Volume mountpoint: provides the ability to instantly mount a folder, but is only available in NTFS v5. For some reason I wasn’t able to perform volume mountpointing myself when I tested this program. If you want another freeware that does this (and works on both NTFS and FAT32) check out Visual Subst.
