symlink uploads forlder in Windows environment #73

In Windows 8.1 (most likely below too) the linked uploads folder does not work, resulting in permission errors when uploading media or plugins. This can be overcome quite easily with the Link Shell Extension (downloads below). The extension relies on Visual Studio 2005 Redistributable package which can be found with a quick Google search.

A complete guide can be found here.

Thanks it works! on Windows 7 :+1: C:\WordPress-Skeleton\content>mklink /D uploads "../shared/content/uploads"

Confirmed for Windows 10. Just remove/unlink the existing link and create a new one in cmd or whatever using mklink /D as described by @rehmetjan.
