Directory junction/symbolic link not working

Yeah it looks like it works. Other than those writes that I see happening periodically, it looks good. As I said, I've never seen someone answer this kind of question so quickly. Thanks.

No problem. Glad it works and glad to contribute.

You could also try this tweak with Firefox if you use it:

FLiGi7,
My idea was to setup the first OS, OS1 then copy or clone it to My OS2 Partition as a backup copy. I tried using Norton Ghost 11 from a CD and it messed up both the copy and the source OS. The copy boots and works for the most part but I can not install programs. Links are missing.
It would not copy Symlinks and junction points. Even worse it deleted Symlinks and junction points for the C:/Users/ All users directory in both OS's.
I have never encountered such a problem.
I do not have a clue how to fix this without a total reinstall.

If I could copy symlinks from another working machine. I could manually rebuild the 'USERS directory' structure.

Got any ideas on how to copy Symlinks and junction points without coping their contents ?
I read Xcopy is able to copy Symlinks and junction points without coping their contents, using the /b option but I can not get the syntax correct.

What syntax are you using?

For the record, it sounds like so much has happened/changed that it might be prudent to just do a re-install and bite the bullet.

What's the difference between /d and /j in the command mklink?

hi logicearth -you are right. I don't understand what is a symbolic link and a junction. I assume they are the same and based on what you are saying, they are the same, except junction will work with older Windows - by this I guess you mean XP, 2000, NT?
