I found a perfect solution to this problem.
There is a utility ln.exe that can make the file appear in temp even if it
continues to be in its original place and it does not take any extra space
C:\Users\bjorn\j701-user>ln c:\tmp\spil\101.png temp\101.png
ln 2.650
c:\tmp\spil\101.png
1 file linked
C:\Users\bjorn\j701-user>dir temp\*.png
Volume in drive C is ACER
Volume Serial Number is 6CE8-E433
Directory of C:\Users\bjorn\j701-user\temp
21.01.2012 17:57 2.520 101.png
1 File(s) 2.520 bytes
0 Dir(s) 14.398.377.984 bytes free
C:\Users\bjorn\j701-user>ln
ln 2.650 (Recursivly) creates hardlinks for files within NTFS partitions
Usage. ln [options] file|dir|UNCname new_name|new_dir|UNCname
Windows thinks it is in both spaces.
I was using this to get rid of extra files in winsxs
Reclaimed more than 13 GB of space on the disk.
It also has the extra benefit of solving this problem for me.
