With the ability for Windows users to give a single file multiple names, similar to Unix, changes to one name will affect all. For instance, C:HELLO.TXT and C:TEMPTHERE.TXT can both point to the same data in NT2000 or higher.
As a software reviewer, I have to say that Linux users know and love the functionality of giving a single file multiple names, and now Windows has the ability to do it too. With the help of a command called FileLink, Windows users can achieve the same feature. For example, if a user has a file named C:DOCSFILE.DOC and executes the command FileLink C:MEMOANOTHER.DOC C:DOCSFILE.DOC, the data of the file will exist only once, but the user can access it in two different directories using two different names.
However, as with any software feature, there are some limitations to consider. The first limitation of FileLink is that the link must be on the same disk. Additionally, for the software to work, the disk-drive must be formatted using NTFS 5 or higher. Finally, the FileLink command will only work on NT2000 or higher operating systems.
Overall, FileLink is a useful software feature that can save Windows users time and effort. With its ability to allow a single file to have multiple names, users can easily manage their files across different directories without the need for duplication. However, users should keep in mind the limitations of the software before utilizing it.
