# mkLink

Make symbolic links, hard links, and directory junctions from the context menu

mkLink creates multiple types of symbolic links. Specifically, it simplifies the use of creating symbolic links by providing a GUI interface and access from the context menu. Normally advanced symbolic links, such as Hard Links and Directory Junctions can only be created through the command prompt.
