Symbolic Link

Here is an article about Symbolic Link. Why should you care about Symbolic Link. In addtion to the reasons stated in the article, there is the case of using two hard drives in a compter. A symbolic link can point to another physical hard drive. If you happen to be using a small SSD (Solid State Drive) for the operating system (because booting and program loads are fast), you could use a symbolic link for your “Documents” or “Pictures”. The link would point to a location on the HD, thus not allowing large amounts of documents or pictures to fill up your SSD.
