I'm having no problem with File Folders, but with shortcuts I'm having issues. Let's say I want the "Music" shortcut. Since it's not working via InTag, I manually go inside the shortcut folder, & I place my desktop.ini with the following parameters:

Save, and to my surprise- it's still unsuccessful.

Any ideas? Appreciate you 💖 EDIT: Might be worth checking this out: https://exiftool.org/TagNames/LNK.html

I'm afraid that this approach is not going to work, as MS Explorer sorts\groups items based on their own tags\properties, meaning that it would only group lnk files if they have tags on themself (rather than objects they link to), which is impossible (lnk files mainly have properties related to how apps should behave in console).

However, there is a workaround for that: using symlinks. In simple terms, that is a way of making Windows treat objects in the links as if they were directly IN the folder. For example: I have my sources in D:\DEV, and a symlink in drive 'C: C:\DEVlinked to it. And when I enterC:\DEV, explorer thinks that I actually work inside C:\DEV\Intag` etc.

Note that some side effects can occur depending on what app you work in.

Inside folder:

Creating a symlink is something like mklink /J D:\A C:\A or mklink /D DEV D:\DEV; Not exactly sure which I used (was a while ago). These are different modes, one makes "join" folders, other is just for directory links... That should be described here
