Junction
Description: Win2K%60s version of NTFS supports directory symbolic links, where a directory serves as a symbolic link to another directory on the computer. For example, if the directory D:SYMLINK specified C:WINNTSYSTEM32 as its target, then an application accessing D:SYMLINKDRIVERS would in reality be accessing C:WINNTSYSTEM32DRIVERS. Directory symbolic links are known as NTFS junctions in Win2K. Unfortunately, Win2K comes with no tools for creating junctions - you have to purchase the Win2K Resource Kit, which comes the linkd program for creating junctions. I therefore decided to write my own junction-creating tool: Junction. Junction not only allows you to create NTFS junctions, it allows you to see if files or directories are actually reparse points. Reparse points are the mechanism on which NTFS junctions are based, and they are used by Win2K%60s Remote Storage Service (RSS), as well as volume mount points.
If you want to view reparse information, the usage for Junction is the following:
Usage: junction [-s] <directory or file name>
-s Recurse subdirectories.
If you want to create or delete a junction, use Junction like this:
Usage: junction [-d] <junction directory> [<junction target>]
To delete a junction specify the -d switch and the junction name.
