Jul 18, 2015 at 1:09 comment added Cornelius Dol Be very careful with Windows Explorer and junctions; it doesn't differentiate junctions from the base location and a delete will recurse into the target and delete it's contents, whereas the delete of a symlink will just remove the symlink. Just a trap for the unwary.
