# 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
