I run into an issue today when I wanted to have something on my C: drive that exceeds the current free space, I have more free space on other drives but I don’t want to go into extending my C: drive by using tools like Partition Magic as I had a bad experience with it before.
I decided to give hard links a try, and after some googling I found that I need to use the junction.exe from Sysinternals because Windows don’t
So, if you need to have a folder on C: drive that points to another folder on D: drive, you just need to call junction like this:
junction C:\MyFolder D:\MyFreeSpace
You will deal with C:\MyFolder as a normal folder, but actually all files will be stored in D:\MyFreeSpace
