About this tag
File links in Windows and Microsoft 365 can refer to shortcuts that point to files or folders, or to preferences for how links to files open across applications. In Microsoft Teams, a new update allows users to set default file link preferences across Microsoft 365, controlling whether documents open in desktop apps or browsers. On older Windows systems like XP and Windows 7, users may encounter broken file links after transferring data, requiring manual repair or relinking. For organizing files, users can create shortcuts or symbolic links to aggregate content from multiple folders into one location, though this may involve copying or linking files. These topics cover both modern cloud-based link settings and legacy file link management.

    Windows 7 How can I get many folders to point to one location?

    I'll try and explain what I mean. I have one folder which has 300 sub folders. In about half of those, there are also sub-folders, all called post-pro. So, there are about 150 folders called post-pro with files in. What I'd like to do is have files in each of the sub-folders called post-pro...
