I was just wondering if anyone has experimented with creating symbolic links in win2k/xp ala unix. Upon using google I found a couple utilities that seem to be able to do so but I don't want to hose anything using some 3rd party program on my ntfs filesystem. Is this practical?

NTFS allows the creation of streams (so it can interact with HFS) but it also has hardlinks.
Unfortunalty MS never supplied a util to make/edit hardlinks/streams.
I have a dll that does it but is no longer supported by the author ill post a link here inna bit

On WinXP you can use the fsutil command to create hardlinks:
Not sure about Win2k.
Code:
D:\>fsutil hardlink
---- HARDLINK Commands Supported ----
create Create a hardlink
D:\>fsutil hardlink create
Usage : fsutil hardlink create <new filename> <existing filename>
Eg : fsutil hardlink create c:\foo.txt c:\bar.txt
