[QUOTE="ericconn, post: 1405005, member: 252713"] I guess that is what I'm trying to do. I just tried to use the command, got this error: ln: illegal option -- a usage: ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file [target_file] ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file ... target_dir link source_file target_file I typed ln -a /RescuePro/ for the RescuePRO folder in my main drive, just to see what it did. Am I phrasing this wrong, or do I have to tell it where to put the link/shortcut? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
