Hi,

A few years ago on my dad’s PC I created two dummy drives, Y: and X:, using Hard/Symbolic links (not sure which) to folders within his C: Hard Drive.

To keep it simple I’ll discuss one - Y: is linked to “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Business\Building Projects”

We’ve recently installed a new hard drive in his PC so the plan is to partition it and move the files to their corresponding drives. However the program I used originally to create the links isn’t installed on my dad’s PC anymore and as I haven't used links since I don’t know how to remove the links.
I have downloaded a program called Junction Link Magic and tried to find Hard Link Magic, both look familiar, but I have been unsuccessful.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Many Thanks

James
 
Right, when I run SUBST both drives are listed but there is no reference in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run.

Any other ideas?
 
Thanks for the help Zarf, you've been a great help.

I've found the program and I can't believe I didn't notice it before. Both drives have now gone.
