Manages object identifiers, which are used by the Windows operating system to track objects such as files and directories. After you create a hard link, programs can use it like any other file name. A file is deleted from the file system only after all links to it are deleted. Because all of the links reference the same file, programs can open any of the links and modify the file. On NTFS volumes, each file can have multiple hard links, so a single file can appear in many directories (or even in the same directory, with different names).

Every file can be considered to have at least one hard link. Lists hard links for a file, or creates a hard link (a directory entry for a file). Lists all drives and queries the drive type, volume information, NTFS-specific volume information, or file system statistics. When a volume's dirty bit is set, autochk automatically checks the volume for errors the next time the computer is restarted.įinds a file by user name (if Disk Quotas are enabled), queries allocated ranges for a file, sets a file's short name, sets a file's valid data length, sets zero data for a file, creates a new file of a specified size, finds a file ID if given the name, or finds a file link name for a specified file ID. Queries whether the volume's dirty bit is set or sets a volume's dirty bit. Scans a directory and identifies registry keys that might be impacted if short names were stripped from the files in the directory. Removes short names for all files within a directory. Queries or changes the settings for short name behavior on the system, for example, generates 8.3 character-length file names.

After your computer restarts, you'll be able to run Fsutil as an administrator. You'll be prompted to restart your computer once it's installed. Run the following command as Administrator in PowerShell to enable this optional feature:Įnable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux You must enable Windows Subsystem for Linux before you can run fsutil. This command is quite powerful and should be used only by advanced users who have a thorough knowledge of Windows operating systems. You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to use fsutil.
