FreeRecover is a free file recovery program for NTFS drives. It allows you to search though and preview deleted files to find lost data. It also estimates the integrity of the deleted files, as well as retrieves their original file paths.
A software that support creating (directory) symlink, hardlink, and NTFS junctions. Very simple, all you need is administrative rights. I am sure everyone knows how to use it. 2.x is developed with Delphi (faster than VB.NET).
If you don't know how command line works or too lazy to open command prompt and want to create a hard link, use this tool. This only work on Windows 2000 and later with NTFS file system
