Quick ‘n Dirty

Programmatically creating symbolic links between folders

I was creating some new folders for upcoming projects.  I got tired of launching a new command prompt and typing in long folder paths for mklink to create symbolic links.  So I whipped up a quick and dirty tool to make this process easier.  Yes it is ugly, but it works so its good enough for now.  If you want the source code and/or the executable, feel free to download the zip of the Visual Studio 2010 project via the link below.
