# py-mklink-wrapper A wrapper script for `ln.exe` to make it look like the `MKLINK` utility found from Windows Vista onwards. `ln.exe` allows Windows XP to use symbolic links. More recent versions of Windows come with the MKLINK utility which can do the same. To fully utilise this, you should also have a batch script that should look something like this: ``` @ECHO OFF python %~dp0mklink.py %* ``` Name the file `mklink.cmd` and put it in `PATH`. Now you can use the fake mklink utility like you would use the real. You can find instruction for installing ln.exe from [here](http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html#symboliclinksforwindowsxp)
