MagicMove

Move folders to another folder and leave behind a symbolic link. Applications keep working, they never know the folder moved. (Probably)

📁

Move Anywhere (sort of)

Relocate folders a different directory (Not a different drive). The original path gets a symbolic link so everything keeps working.

One-Click Revert

Changed your mind? Revert a move instantly! The symlink is removed and the folder returns to its original location.

🔒

Admin Enforced

Creating symbolic links requires administrator privileges. MagicMove requests elevation via UAC automatically.

💾

Persistent Tracking

All moved folders are remembered across sessions. Settings are stored in %APPDATA% so they survive reinstalls.

Health Status

Each entry shows a live status indicator. Green when the symlink is healthy, red when something needs attention.

Lightweight

A single-purpose tool with no bloat. Built with WinForms on .NET. Fast startup, tiny footprint.

How It Works

1

Pick a Folder

Select the folder you want to relocate and choose a destination.

2

Folder Moves

The folder is moved to the new location on your target drive.

3

Symlink Created

A symbolic link is placed at the original path pointing to the new location. Apps see no difference. Some apps are weird and might not work with symbolic links. Check documentation!

Requirements

Windows 10 or later

.NET 9.0 Runtime (included in self-contained builds)
