Creating hard and soft links using PowerShell

Question

Can PowerShell 1.0 create hard and soft links analogous to the Unix variety?

If this isn\'t built in, can someone point me to a site that has a ps1 script that mimi

Answer 1

Add "pscx" module

No, it isn't built into PowerShell. And the mklink utility cannot be called on its own on Windows Vista/Windows 7 because it is built directly into cmd.exe as an "internal command".

You can use the PowerShell Community Extensions (free). There are several cmdlets for reparse points of various types:

• New-HardLink,
• New-SymLink,
• New-Junction,
• Remove-ReparsePoint
• and others.
