In elevated command prompt:
Code:
icacls "c:\folder\subfolder\nameOfJunction" /deny everyone:(RD) /L
icacls "c:\folder\subfolder\nameOfJunction" /setowner SYSTEM /L
Of course rename
c:\folder\subfolder\nameOfJunction with actual name of junction point
NB: One of those reparse points is
Start Menu, which requires some form of full access, else Windows will spam "access denied" when you click the Start orb or press the Start key on the keyboard.
Exception -- C:\Users\Default\Start Menu --
Code:
icacls "C:\Users\Default\Start Menu" /deny everyone:(RD) /L
icacls "C:\Users\Default\Start Menu" /setowner SYSTEM /L

Some of these reparse points have turned into "System files", and even if I did try to make a folder and drag it into that directory, Windows will claim that file already exists. I managed to fix some of them, but now they just look like Windows shortcuts.
Most of the system's reparse points are labeled "Documents and Settings", "Application Data", "All Users", "Default User", "My [Documents | Music | Pictures | Videos]", "Start Menu", "Cookies", "Local Settings", "Templates", "NetHood", "SendTo", "Recent", "Temporary Internet Files", and "PrintHood"
