Hi, I want to make hard link to folder, I've found some utility for Windows
XP, but there is one from Microsoft?
Thank you
 
I-ve tried fsutil to create a file hard link but i think it doen-t run very
well because I think it is funcions like a copy command, not like linux hard
link.
If you can make a test in this manner: cerate a hard link after modify a
file contenet and check if they have the same data or not.
Thank you
 
I see that now. I never even heard of a hard link until I read the OP's
question.

Creating a hard link, yes. Edit one, edit both (cos there is only one).
 
Or create a hard link with Unix, No I haven't tried that. But other commands work so that one should too.

You understand NT (and XP is NT5.1) is an OS that runs other OSs. Internix/Posix, OS/2, and Windows are the three standard subsystems. Dos and Win 16 are run in a windows (not NT) program that emulates that environment.

The only standard NT program (known as a native mode program) I can think of is autocheck (the worker program that chkdsk uses). Nearly everything else is a windows program (as OS/2 is no longer included in 5.1 and Internix is now a download rather than installed by XP's setup).

Also people like Bill Gates are Unix experts and know more about Unix than Dos. MS ran their company on Unix, wrote Dos and Win 16 on Unix, wrote the Intel port of Unix, and Unix was MS's first OS they sold.
 
I try to explain more my expirience: I have one file "secret.txt" in folder
"c:\reserved\" and I've created a hard link with "fsutil hardlink create
public.txt c:\reserved\secret.txt".
Ok if the date in secret.txt was "My name is Michael" the same data wan in
public.txt but after then if I try to edit secret.txt I can but public.txt
doesn't change.
That's why I asked you if you've tried, and if you can make the same proof.
Thanks

There is only one file. Why are you wasting time with this. This is totally irrelevent to your question. You need LINKD MORON.
