Using Hard Link Magic you can create hard links on Windows NT/2000/XP systems. A hard link is a file system-level shortcut for a given file. By creating a hard link to an existing file, you duplicate neither the file nor a file-based reference (that is, a shortcut) to it. Instead, you add information to its directory entry at the NTFS level. The physical file remains intact in its original location. Simply put, it now has two or more names that you can use to access the same content!
