SHJunction 0.22 alpha

SHJunction is a small freeware application to manage NTFS virtual folders.

A virtual folder is sometimes called a junction point or (pseudo) symbolic link. It is a folder that is actually a link to another folder.

One use is to move a folder such as My Documents to another volume (drive) with more available space without changing the path of the My Documents folder.

To do this one would move the My Documents folder to another volume, then create a new virtual folder where the My Documents folder originally was that links to the folder on the other volume.

Another use is to make a long (deep) path into a short one.
