OK, so you use the Windows supplied utility, or the free utility mentioned in the thread, either of which will create a symbolic link with a relative path on the local machine, but what happens when you want to transport the UR database AND the phyiscal copies of the Linked files?

These symbolic links are pointing to various physical files located in various places on the local machine. When transporting to a new machine, wouldn't the original structure (and files) need to be duplicated for the symbolic links to work?
