WinReloc8

Description

Easily move a folder from one hard disk location to another (possibly on a different drive), creating a redirecting 'junction' in the old location so that any app that expects to find the folder in the original location will still work fine. Useful for moving any large apps around (esp. video games) when running low on disk space on one drive with plenty of space on another.

Technical Info

Before it is relocated, the folder must be on an NTFS formatted partition (the most common format used by modern versions of Windows).
