Creating a specific symbolic link

Question

I need to know the command line for creating a symbolic link to the following folder: F:\screenshots\games.

The game is located in C:\users\public\games and the name of the symbolic link Pictures.

What would the command line be?

Answer 1

Use mklink

mklink [[/d] | [/h] | [/j]] <Link> <Target>

/D – used to create symbolic links for directories (d for directory)
/H – used to create hard links (h for hard link)
/J – used to create directory junction (j for junction)
Link - specifies the new symbolic link name.
Target - specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link
         refers to.

In your case, cd to C:\users\public\games, then:

MKlink /D Pictures F:\screenshots\games
