Other Software & Customization • Re: Link Shell Extension, Hard and Symbolic Links

Sorry I couldn't read through it earlier, was away for a bit. Thanks Ricardo for the info on junctions. On Win11, I think junctions should work fine; on Win10 or some versions of Win10, junctions have some issues, and when I briefly tried them out (luckily with test files) file could be unintentionally deleted, similar to the comment here:
Warning: Windows 10 has serious holes regarding symlinks: e.g. deleting the junction is safe but just moving it to some dest empties the original directory! It leaves the junction at its initial location, and at the dest there will be an independent folder with the original contents. This can however be undone. Now, symlinks don't have this problem, (moving the symlink will carry its target). Still, moving it to another volume will make an empty independent folder and undoing this will move the independent folder at the initial symlink location. These are just a few behaviors.
I could well be doing something weird or missing something, but if you're on Win10, it's something to keep in mind. I've been using directory symbolic links for now.

Otherwise for what you have there sl23, it's a fair number of links to create and track for all the audio plugin directories, but once it's set up, it should be smooth sailing from there.
