Junction points are a poor cousin to symlinks and my experience (admittedly on XP) is when they break they can create an almighty mess.
What is a Junction?
Quote:
- A junction point can only be a link to a local volume path. Symbolic links are a local and remote path. For example, a symbolic link can link to the network share \\hope\files.
- A junction point is designed for local directories, but a symbolic link can be used for directories, files, and shares.
- A symbolic link resolves to the local machine. For example, you create a symbolic link to c:\hope on your computer. If someone accesses that link from a remote machine, c:\hope os opened on that remote machine, not yours.
