copy LNK directories

Post by *SailorMax »

Is it possible to copy LNK directories?
I need to copy c:\Users\All Users (Windows 8.1) on same drive to another directory. Currently Total Commander create copy as normal folder, but I expect new LNK directory.

thank you.

Yes, see the help on wincmd.ini, section [Configuration]

CopyLinks=0

Copy file system links (junctions) as links and not as directories:
0: Copy links as dirs or ignore them (if IgnoreLinks has been set)
1: Copy links without changing the target path of the links
2: Copy links and change the target path to the target drive if the link points to the same drive on which the link itself is located.
Example:
c:\path1\link, pointing to c:\path1\path2\linktarget
Copied to d:\trgpath1\trgpath2\link
-> Link now points to d:\trgpath1\trgpath2\path2\linktarget
Note: The function does NOT check whether the target of the link exists or not.
