Hello all! I have a strange question.
Is it possible to create 2 identical folders? I'm talking about making a folder inside "download" for example, and then having an identical copy of the folder on the desktop, so that when I move/change/rename something on the first, it reflects and modify on the second as well?
Thanks in advance! I hope my question was clear enough!

Solution
Is a symbolic link what you are looking for? It creates a reference to a directory from another directory, the link behaves like a directory.
Type
mklink
in a cmd-window to get help.

Hmm, I see it's finally part of native Windows, on Linux this is called a symbolic link.
But, use with caution

Interesting, but not included in Windows XP, which was supported up to 8 years ago
