Thread: Junction link

More of a sticky note for future reference for myself rather than a post.

No build in symlink for xp.

Junction v1.05

Cut out out "battlefield bad company 2" from steamapps\common. Backup somewhere safe, make a copy on raptor (d).

cmd>e:\steam\steamapps\common > md "battlefield bad company 2"

junction -s "e:\steam\steamapps\common\battlefield bad company 2" "d:\battlefield bad company 2"

If it's broken I've screwed up probably on the last step because I closed my shell window too early.

Will need:
"junction -d "e:\steam\steamapps\common\battlefield bad company 2"

Note: If you delete the folder in steamapps it'll delete the linked copy on D:

For those reading, this might get some extra performance instead of running bc2 off the WDBlack, just need to test it.

Was looking at using ntfs junctions to shift my steam folder off my ssd while still having a few games on the ssd.
