Hallo everyone!
I am currently setting my system from scratch on new hardware. (WinXpPro)
I have always made heavy use of links since it helps not having to navigate folder trees all the time.
With the new huge harddisk drives, however, even small lnk files take up space (sector size).
So I am planning to use hardlinks and junctions this time -- all partitions are NTFS anyway.
The very limited experience that I already have with this seems to indicate that BC (ver2 in my case) can perfectly handle the trick and shows those hardlinks as non-existent.
So here is my question:
Is there anything concerning BC that would speak against the use of hardlinks and junctions?
Any potential risks involved?
Since Windows7 RC seems to use these features internally, it may be worthwhile to comment on this topic in principle with a sticky note.
thanks for your answers
