	How to create and manipulate NTFS junction points
		To delete the mydesktop junction point, at a command prompt, type linkd mydesktop /d or Delrp mydesktop.
		Use NTFS ACLs to protect files and directories that are targeted by junction points from inadvertent deletion or other file system operations.
		NTFS junction points are similar to the junction points in DFS because both are tools that are used to graft storage namespaces together.

		Junction Points can be used in a similar way to symbolic links - allowing you to create a link to a folder that is, for most intents and purposes, the same as the folder itself.
		By setting a JP that points to a directory containing a particular version of a piece of software, you can, in most cases, seamlessly add another version of the software and redirect the JP to point to the version you wish to use.

	NTFS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NTFS has several improvements over FAT such as improved support for metadata and the use of advanced data structures to improve performance, reliability and disk space utilization plus additional extensions such as security access control lists and file system journaling.
		NTFS has five versions: v1.0, v1.1 and v1.2 found in NT 3.51 and NT 4, v3.0 found in Windows 2000 and v3.1 found in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
		Due to the complexity of the internal NTFS structures, both the built-in 2.6.14 kernel driver and the FUSE driver will stop writing to the volume when it detects too many changes to be safe, thus it should not corrupt the volume.

	Inside Win2K NTFS, Part 1
		NTFS uses mapping information to translate a VCN to a Logical Cluster Number (LCN), which is the number of a cluster relative to the start of a volume.
		NTFS then adds the security descriptor to the $SDS attribute, which is sorted in a B+ tree by NTFS security ID, and adds to the $SDH and $SII indexes entries that reference the descriptor's offset in the $SDS data.
		NTFS junctions are similar to mount points, and the I/O manager and Object Manager implement junctions as they implement mount points.

	Science Fair Projects - NTFS junction point
		In computing, a NTFS junction point (JP) is a type of NTFS reparse point in the NTFS file system.
		It requires a NTFS 5.0 file system, which can be created (or converted from a FAT partition) under Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
		Note: junction points link to folders only, if you want to create a similar link with files, use hard links.

	Hard link - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The data is still accessible as long as at least one link that points to it still exists.
		This integer represents the total number of links that have been created to point to the data.
		They have both been linked - that is, made to point - to the same physical data.

	[No title]
		NTFS allocates a new cluster, replacing the cluster in which the bad sector resides, and copies the data to the new cluster.
		Junctions are a useful way to lift directories that are deep in a directory tree to a more convenient depth without disturbing the original tree's structure or contents.
		When NTFS encounters a reparse point during a file or directory lookup, it returns a reparse status code, which signals file system filter drivers that are attached to the volume, and the I/O manager, to examine the reparse data.

	Installing/uninstalling of an Eclipse product automatically -- created on June 7, 2005
		*junction* is a system utility provided by the system internals web site, to use the junction point to record information of a remote real directory such that the NTFS is "cheated" to believe the directory is the remote directory.
		Junction point is more powerful than the "subst" utility in the DOS file system which mirrors a disk letter to a remote directory (I have written a chapter on how to use subst utility to achieve symbolic link effect some years ago).
		To remove a junction point directory safely without removing the remote files, the junction point is deleted by detaching it from the remote directory.

	Junction Link Magic
		Junction Link Magic automatically lists existing junction points, and it offers an easy interface to add, modify or remove junction points.
		A junction point (also known as a reparse point) is a technology for a folder to be grafted into another folder on the same local computer.
		Junction points can only be created on volumes formatted with NTFS 5.0 or higher.

		Normally, if you would delete a junction, all the content of the target folder would be deleted as well.
		As there is no build-in functionality in Windows to find the junctions pointing to a folder, NTFS Link tries to keep track of that itself (if you create a junction using some other, external utility, NTFS Link will of course not know about it).

	NTFS Reparse Points
		Junction Points: A junction point is similar to a symbolic link, but instead of redirecting access from one file to another, it redirects access from one directory to another.
		Volume Mount Points: A volume mount point is like a symbolic link or junction point, but taken to the next level: it is used to create dynamic access to entire disk volumes.
		For example, you can create volume mount points for removable hard disks or other storage media, or even use this feature to allow several different partitions (C:, D:, E: and so on) to appear to the user as if they were all in one logical volume.

	File systems 101: NTFS - Techguides - ZDNet Asia
		NTFS is a journaling file system, which means that, in addition to writing information to the disk, the file system also maintains a log of all changes made.
		Junction Points: For UNIX users in the crowd, symbolic links are old hat--they are basically references in the file system that point to files elsewhere.
		While NTFS has supported a type of symbolic link called a Junction Point since Windows 2000, the feature is still not well-supported in the GUI, and add-ons are often used to make use of this functionality.

		NTFS Link is a set of Windows Shell Extensions which hook into Explorer, providing extended functionality for creating and using hard links, as well as junction points on NTFS file systems.
		Please note that this was originally started as a demo meant to showcase the creation of shell extensions in Delphi, and that development has been moved to Source Forge.
		As there is no build-in functionality in Windows to find the junctions pointing to a folder, NTFS Link tries to keep track of that itself (however, please note that if you create a junction using some other external utility, NTFS Link will of course not know about it).

	Trick for command-line junkies

		E.G. One of the junction points I was using was from "My Documents" to the root of a large source tree (on another drive).

		Because junctions are used within the Sysvol folder structure, Windows NT file system (NTFS) version 5.0 is required on domain controllers throughout a Windows 2000 distributed file system (DFS) forest.
		When you install Windows 2000 to an NTFS file system partition, part of the set up process is to apply default security settings to the system files and folders located on the boot partition.

	Ars Technica: The Evolution of NTFS: NTFS 5.0 - Page 4 - (9/2000)
		Mount points are a cousin to junction points really, where a mount point serves to allow the root of a volume to me mapped (NT term) or mounted (UNIX term) to a directory on another volume.
		Junction points, on the other hand, allow for configuring one directory to point to a second directory, on any volume on the same machine.
		Not having to convert from FAT16/32 to NTFS 5.0 during OS installation helps the performance out for one, as the boot/system partition is on a filesystem with 4KB (instead of 512B) clusters.

	Symbolic link - TheBestLinks.com - Symlink, Data structure, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, ...
		In contrast with hard links, there are no restrictions on where a symbolic link can point, it can refer to a file on another file system, to itself or to a file which does not even exist (e.g.
		The file merely contained the text string of the filename the link pointed to, and had a special attribute set indicating that it was a symbolic link rather than just a regular file.
		Another option under Windows are Junction Points (this requires NTFS 5.0), which are more similar to symbolic links than windows shortcuts.

	Cook Computing : February 2004
		Until half an hour ago I didn't know that junction points are a particular type of reparse point.
		A reparse point contains data and a tag which identifies which file system filter is used to process the data.

		Junction points (JP), transparent to users and programs, can be acted upon in exactly the same way as normal files and directories and so are a useful way of lifting directories that are deep in a directory tree to a more convenient depth without disturbing the original treeâs structure or contents.
		Junctions points are based on an NTFS mechanism called reparse points.
		By using junction points it is possible to graft a target folder onto another NTFS folder or mount a volume onto a NTFS junction point.

	File Systems - NTFS
		NTFS v1.1 is the filesystem of the system Windows NT®, and is also described as NTFS v4.0.
		This shortcoming was spearheaded with the release of NTFS 5.0, introducing flexibility in determining how much access you want to assign to whom: control now exists with how security changes are or are not propagated down a filesystem.
		DFS on the other hand comes in to play when you want to expand this functionality past one machine, allowing the junctioning of multiple directories from multiple machines to one single directory, or share most likely.

		Monday, October 31, 2005 11:09 AM by Chris K. That is one thing that always bugged me about reparse points in NTFS, their inability to refer to network shares.
		The reparse point mechanism is, I believe, sufficiently general that one could write a simplistic symlink reparse point without much trouble at all.
		I'd think all you really need for symlinks is a generalization of junction points ("generalized" to allow them to point anywhere in the object manager namespace, and to allow them to be attached to files as well as directories).

		In the case of Volume mount points and Junction points, it's both close to useless and completely wrong.
		Another point of interest is that the creator of this API apparently was completely unaware of the already documented approach of creating a non-parsed file system name "\??\", and charged ahead to invent "\\?\".
