The name is self explanatory. Its excellent! 5 stars by ricojonah2 (Read all my 3 reviews)
I originally downloaded this tool as a way to overcome the limitations of a 3rd-party online backup solution. (My backup software was limited to monitoring specific directories, like My Documents, etc.) The shell extension functionality made it extremely simple to overcome those limitations. Said simply, it simply works. Another noteworthy point about this software is its included documentation, which was extremely useful and very well-written. Thanks Hermann! showShow review details
Excellent time-saving utility 4 stars by Anandajoti (Read all my 4 reviews)
This a simple and incredibly useful utility. I use it to link directories together that have to be categorized separately, but are linked by content. With this easy-to-use application I can access all the directories from a master directory which contains hardlinks to the others, saving the necessity of navigating to them, which can be a tiresome business indeed. If you have a similar need try this out. It takes about 10 minutes to find out the possibilities and see what works for you, and will save lots of time and frustration in the future. If you need it there is a very informative help page on their website. Great bit of work by the author, to whom I am very grateful indeed. showShow review details
Handy 5 stars by jackfrost (Read all my 34 reviews)
If you have a program, or many programs, that have jumped on the bandwagon of hijacking your 'my documents' folder, then this program is extremely useful. in my case, i partition my harddrives, and on a windows box, my docs is MY DOCS, laff. it is not a space i take invasion into lightly. some programs do allow you to reconfigure, but some don't. a good example would be The Sims 2. not only does it hijack that folder, it can clog it with several gigabytes of things taking up YOUR space. this program comes in at this point. move the original to wherever you need it to go, but then hard link it back to the original location so that the offending program still functions. for all intents and purposes, the folder is in the original spot as far as the intruder is concerned. there are a number of scenarios where this is useful, but that is common one for you to consider. nice program and thank you for putting it out there. showShow review details
