Am trying to create a symbolic hard link so that I can move chrome's cache to another harddrive, I have been trying to get it to work, but every variation I have tried has come back from the command line that my syntax is incorrect. From what ive seen seaching about this error is normaly todo with the quotation marks.
Anyway this is what I have so does anything have any idea why its returning "The syntax of the command is incorrect"
Thanks
mklink /J “C:\Users\Vodkaholic\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data” “K:\Chrome\User Data”
How To Enable using Symbolic Links. The user must be given the "Create Symbolic Links" privilege or be in a group that has been given that privilege. If User Account Control (UAC) is on, any user with the "Create Symbolic Links" privilege that is not in the Administrators group can simply create a symbolic link.
You can create symbolic links using the mklink command in a Command Prompt window as Administrator. To open one, locate the “Command Prompt” shortcut in your Start menu, right-click it, and select “Run as Administrator”.
