====== Symbolic links ======

===== Creation =====
<code dos>MKLINK /D myLink linkTarget</code>

===== Removal =====
Remove the link in the same way as you remove a file or directory **but** you need to use the command appropriate to the type of the link target:
  * ''del'' for files;
  * ''rmdir'' for directories.

===== Testing for symlinks =====

Is file "myLink" a symlink?
<code dos>FSUTIL reparsepoint query "myLink" | FIND "Symbolic Link" > NUL 2>&1 && ECHO exists and is link</code>
