DyzzyD,

I gave up on the Powershell deal....I did a forum search for Symlink. The very first result will be Symlink Help. Look at that post and you'll find a link to a different program that helps with the associations. Here's what I did:

  1. Downloaded and installed the program.
  2. Created copies of my main Warcraft folder (I ended up with World of Warcraft, WoW2, WoW3, WoW4, WoW5 all on my E:\ drive)
  3. Navigate to your copies and DELETE your Data and Interface folders
  4. Navigate to your main World of Warcraft folder and Control Left Click your Data and Interface folders
  5. Right click on one of your highlighted folders (should be Data or Interface)
  6. Choose Pick Link Source
  7. Navigate to one of your copies (ie. WoW2) and right click on the folder
  8. Choose Drop As...Symbolic Link
  9. Repeat 4-8 until you've created the symbolic links for all your copies

Now you should have a main World of Warcraft folder with 4 copies that use the Data and Interface folders from the main. I linked the interface folder to use the same mods on all accounts. You can just link the Data folder if you prefer different mods on each.

This save me a ton of space on my hard drive and appears to have improved my performance too. Good luck! If you need any help or have questions just yell.

Just a small note, highlight all for the copy/paste and then ctrl click off data and interface folders. Saves you copy/pasta 7GB for 2 or more times.
