Re: Symbolic links can only be create in the console?

Yep, I'll echo that. Wasn't aware of that handy new tool. Thanks as well.

Couldn't see much more info online about it either

but then to be honest its syntax is fairly self-explanatory.

Will prove useful too in combination with

fsutil reparsepoint query

and

dir /al
