Hello, I am quite new to Windows and PC.
I have recently bought a stationary windows computer with two seperate drives and I have some questions.
First of all it seems like all my downloads is automaticly saved on my C drive. However i do not want this to be the case. I have read some on the internet and stumbeled across something called Junction Links. A hard link between local directories.
An example:
I made a folder on my D drive with the name "Photos". Since I want my photos to be saved in this folder and not in the "Photos" folder on my C drive, I created a junction link like this in command prompt:
C:\windows\system32>mklink /J C:\Photos D:\Photos
If I have understood this correctly, whenever I save a photo in my Photos folder on my C drive, it will actually be saved in my Photos folder on my D drive. Correct?
I know that this is kind of an useless example as photos can be moved between drives without problems as long as they are not linked to anything. But, say I want to download a program or such. If anyone has a better way to move programs from C drive to D drive I am waiting for your response!
Thank you!
