I don't know why, but my right click menu has a lot less options than yours. There is no Create Link option.
Is it set to mount at system boot?
What do you use? Nautilus? Nemo?
I never tried anything else rather than the "Files" which came with Zorin OS 16. Perhaps others can help on this regard.
Yes, it is.
Ok, let me try and come right back.
I just installed the OS and didn't make any modifications. I am using the native files app from zorin.
I was previously using Zorin 15.3 Lite, and another difference I noticed is that the secondary drive, as well as any connected usb drives would appear in the Desktop. Do you know how to activate this feature in Zorin 16?
This is a different matter since it is on another drive. Is that other drive formatted in ext4 or NTFS?
NTFS. It has Windows installed on it.
NTFS does not support Symlinks.
When I had Zorin 15.3 lite it gave me the option to simply create a shortcut, it was a seemless and windows-like experience. I don't understand why I can't do the same in Zorin 16.
As I said previously, the shorcut you helped me create works normally after I access the Hard Drive.
Maybe because it used XFCE.
It's ok, I am moving too fast and slightly brain-dead.
The symlink is on Zorin to the folder on the other hard drive.
The Symlink is not on the second hard drive.
Correct?
Oh. Yes, correct.

Could I make a copy of the folder on the Desktop and setup some software to sync the two? I think that would work for what I need.
I was wondering if there is a permission issue on the mount point. Z15 and Z16 should work the same in this regard.
But yes, your idea is a good idea, too- I use Megasync on Zorin, due to recommendations made on this forum. It works. I do not know if you can have the same folder syncing in two places as I have not tried- but it seems like it should be fine. Just have a Mega folder on zorin and a mega folder that leads to the same account on Windows.
It happens to the best of us, its a sign our body moves faster then our minds ability comprehend that movement. 
Than you. I will try that and come back with the results once it's all set up.
