Linkd

We are moving to a new folder structure where we will be using a virtual
folder (specifically an “NTFS junction point”) called C:\XYZ
instead of the old subst R: drive.

The subst R: drive implementation had a lot of issues like no integration with
IIS, VSTS2008, TFS Build etc


Steps to change:


1. Please remove your existing R: drive
“subst r: /D”

2. Remove any .bat file you have for creating the r: drive on startup

3. Install the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit (even on XP)

4. Create the symbolic link (one time only, no bat file required)
“linkd C:\XYZ E:\Projects\XYZ”

5. Delete your existing workspace and create a new one with
"C:\XYZ" instead of R: as the root folder of your team project.
