I decided yo update NTFS Links to fix an annoying issue several people complained about. If you copy a directory and decide to, yes, copy and not create soft link, you will be still prompted with the same question for every subdirectory inside. Windows gove no option to learn this is actually a subdirectory and not a different operation so the workaround is not as simple as it seems.
The solution is the following: each of the dialogs currently is suppressible using a special check box, which if checked makes dialog don’t appear unless Control key is pressed. Since this version, if unchecked, the dialog box is still suppressible while you hold Shift down. Thus, hold shift and have subdirectories processed with default option without prompt.
The rest of the changes, significant amount of in fact, add no more features. The extension is changed to using Unicode version of APIs (you can expect it to work as much as 1% faster), compiled with new compiler, without dependencies and thus distributable became unexpectedly small, 251K as compared to previous 336K.
What’s new in this build?
- New: Shift key being hold suppresses prompt dialogs

Thank you for wonderful tool I was using on 32-bit Windows XP with great pleasure! It’s really, REALLY a pity it does not work on Windows XP x64. Is it a great deal to make is working there too? I’m missing the functionality very much.
The problem might be caused by the fact that 64-bit Windows Explorer does not use 32-bit shell extensions. While it does not seem to be a great deal to make a 64-bit version also, at the very moment I don’t have such a system by my hand to test if everything works as expected.
However I will make 64-bit version as soon as there will be an opportunity.
