View the symbolic links created on a NTFS system in Explorer.

NTFSLinksView is a nifty little utility which can display a list of Windows symbolic links, even if they aren't visible in Windows Explorer.

This application is both lightweight and very easy-to-use, as well as portable.

NTFSLinksView's main layout is list-based, quite similar to some iterations of Windows Explorer. From the list, you can right-click the items and perform a few commands including viewing the properties of the target.

The results produced by NTFSLinksView include the name, path, type, target patch and date of creation. You can select these entries and create a report in several formats, including CSV and HTML.

Overall, NTFSLinksView is a very lightweight and very useful application just like all of those made available by Nir Sofer.
