Drag & Drop

You can also create a hard link from the explorer by dragging and dropping a file. This can be useful to create multiple occurrances of one file, while only having to maintain one file.

•	Right-click any file, keep the right mouse button pressed and move the mouse. You should see a duplicate icon similar to the one shown below:

HardLink004

•	You can now release the right mouse button either on a subfolder of the current folder or in a completely new folder:

HardLink005

When you created the hard link you will have an identical file in a different folder:

HardLink006

Remember that hard links can only be created on the same volume / drive letter, H: in the example shown above.
