Hardlinks?

[gordon-creAtive]

Recently I stumpled upon this page, which describes the poorly documented symbolic and hard link feature in Windows 2000+, which is well known in the Unix world: http://shell-shocked.org/article.php?id=284

In my opinion, implementing this in LaunchBase instead of the "file copy"-method would have several advantages:

• General speedup
  
• Crashes won't screw LaunchBase since it doesn't need to copy changed files (like savegames) back into the mods directory or delete any files in order to run normally again
  
• It even works across a LaunchBase reinstall!
  

Marshall, what do you think about this idea? Is it even possible to implement with VisualBasic? Also I don't know how YR will react to symbolic/hard links but I think at least hard links should't be a problem.
