Modifications inspired by @Ipstenu https://gist.github.com/Ipstenu/f378eaf3779546d385ca7836bc87abc7

Updated and simplified. Now doesn't delete but checks to see if a symlink already exists and creates a symlink where one doesn't. If forcibly over-writes any other file that exists in that location, like a shared folder.
