<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">C:\Windows\system32&amp;gt;mklink
Creates a symbolic link.
&nbsp;
MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target
&nbsp;
/D      Creates a directory symbolic link.  Default is a file
symbolic link.
/H      Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link.
/J      Creates a Directory Junction.
Link    specifies the new symbolic link name.
Target  specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link
refers to.</pre></div></div>

<p>Normally,we can use the option /D to create symbolic link.<br />
Note:You need the admin privileges to run this command<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-378" title="runcmdasadmin" src="http://www.windows7home.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/runcmdasadmin-376x450.png" alt="runcmdasadmin" width="376" height="450" /></p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>To create a symbolic link named MyDocs from the root directory to the \Users\User1\Documents directory, type:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">mklink /D \MyDocs \Users\User1\Documents</pre></div></div>

<p>Also we can use <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx">junction.exe</a> or <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&amp;displaylang=en">linkd.exe</a> to create symbolic link in windows 7,you can  try them after put them to C:\windows\system32  if you have the interest.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you know,windows 7/vista put all system data and user data on the same partition,normally it&#8217;s drive C.Under this condition we must backup our user data every time we re-install our windows 7/vista.From windows vista ,Microsoft supply us a tool <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753194.aspx" target="_blank">mklink</a> which can create a symbolic link under windows 7 or vista just as the command ln under unix/linux.Below is an example about how to put user data on non-system using mklink in windows 7.<br />
1.Enable administrator account and set a password for it.You can refer <a href="http://www.windows7home.net/how-to-enable-or-disable-administrator-account-in-windows-7/" target="_blank">How to enable or disable administrator account in windows 7</a></p>
<p>2.Logoff and login with administrator account</p>
<p>3.Relocate your user data to other non-system partion,for example from C:\users\J  to D:\users\J</p>
<p>4.Use mklink to create a symbolic link from C:\users\J to D:\users\J</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="text" style="font-family:monospace;">mklink /D C:\Users\J  D:\users\J</pre></div></div>

<p>5.Re-login use your own account,you will find nothing changed,but in fact your physical user data is on drive D.</p>
<p>6.Done.The next time you re-install your OS ,just use the same user name, remove  C:\users\J then run the command of step 3 again then your user data is back.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boot Configuration Data (BCD) files provide a store that is used to describe boot applications and boot application settings. The objects and elements in the store effectively replace Boot.ini.</p>
<p>BCDEdit is a command-line tool for managing BCD stores. It can be used for a variety of purposes, including creating new stores, modifying existing stores, adding boot menu parameters, and so on. BCDEdit serves essentially the same purpose as Bootcfg.exe on earlier versions of Windows, but with two major improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li> Exposes a wider range of boot parameters than Bootcfg.exe.</li>
<li> Has improved scripting support.</li>
</ul>
<p>Below will give you a simple instruction about how to use bcdedit in windows 7.</p>
<p>1.Go to <strong>Start Menu-All Programs-Accessories</strong>,then right-click <strong>Command Prompt</strong> and select <strong>Run As Administrator</strong>,because Administrative privileges are required to use BCDEdit to modify BCD</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-319" title="cmdrunasadmin" src="http://www.windows7home.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cmdrunasadmin-357x450.png" alt="cmdrunasadmin" width="357" height="450" /></p>
<p>2.Type <strong>bcdedit</strong> and press enter ,then bcdedit will show the boot entries on your computer</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-320" title="bcdedit" src="http://www.windows7home.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bcdedit-480x450.png" alt="bcdedit" width="480" height="450" />3.You can run<strong> bcdedit /?</strong> to see the manual of command bcdedit</p>

&nbsp;
BCDEDIT - Boot Configuration Data Store Editor
&nbsp;
The Bcdedit.exe command-line tool modifies the boot configuration data store.
The boot configuration data store contains boot configuration parameters and
controls how the operating system is booted. These parameters were previously
in the Boot.ini file (in BIOS-based operating systems) or in the nonvolatile
RAM entries (in Extensible Firmware Interface-based operating systems). You can
use Bcdedit.exe to add, delete, edit, and append entries in the boot
configuration data store.
&nbsp;
For detailed command and option information, type bcdedit.exe /? &amp;lt;command&amp;gt;. For
example, to display detailed information about the /createstore command, type:
&nbsp;
bcdedit.exe /? /createstore
&nbsp;
For an alphabetical list of topics in this help file, run &quot;bcdedit /? TOPICS&quot;.
&nbsp;
Commands that operate on a store
================================
/createstore    Creates a new and empty boot configuration data store.
/export         Exports the contents of the system store to a file. This file
can be used later to restore the state of the system store.
/import         Restores the state of the system store using a backup file
created with the /export command.
/sysstore       Sets the system store device (only affects EFI systems, does
not persist across reboots, and is only used in cases where
the system store device is ambiguous).
&nbsp;
Commands that operate on entries in a store
===========================================
/copy           Makes copies of entries in the store.
/create         Creates new entries in the store.
/delete         Deletes entries from the store.
/mirror         Creates mirror of entries in the store.
&nbsp;
Run bcdedit /? ID for information about identifiers used by these commands.
&nbsp;
Commands that operate on entry options
======================================
/deletevalue    Deletes entry options from the store.
/set            Sets entry option values in the store.
&nbsp;
Run bcdedit /? TYPES for a list of datatypes used by these commands.
Run bcdedit /? FORMATS for a list of valid data formats.
&nbsp;
Commands that control output
============================
/enum           Lists entries in the store.
/v              Command-line option that displays entry identifiers in full,
rather than using names for well-known identifiers.
Use /v by itself as a command to display entry identifiers
in full for the ACTIVE type.
&nbsp;
Running &quot;bcdedit&quot; by itself is equivalent to running &quot;bcdedit /enum ACTIVE&quot;.
&nbsp;
Commands that control the boot manager
======================================
/bootsequence   Sets the one-time boot sequence for the boot manager.
/default        Sets the default entry that the boot manager will use.
/displayorder   Sets the order in which the boot manager displays the
multiboot menu.
/timeout        Sets the boot manager time-out value.
/toolsdisplayorder  Sets the order in which the boot manager displays
the tools menu.
&nbsp;
Commands that control Emergency Management Services for a boot application
==========================================================================
/bootems        Enables or disables Emergency Management Services
for a boot application.
/ems            Enables or disables Emergency Management Services for an
operating system entry.
/emssettings    Sets the global Emergency Management Services parameters.
&nbsp;
Command that control debugging
==============================
/bootdebug      Enables or disables boot debugging for a boot application.
/dbgsettings    Sets the global debugger parameters.
/debug          Enables or disables kernel debugging for an operating system
entry.
/hypervisorsettings  Sets the hypervisor parameters.
