When I enter at the command prompt of C:

dir /a

then a (JUNCTION) folder "Documents and Settings" is listed which points to

C:\Users

However this Junction is NOT visible in WinExplorer

How can I tell WinExplorer to show Junctions as well (maybe in different color) ?

Just check "Don't hide hidden folders" and "Hide protected operating system files" in Folder options. Beware if you are considering editing any files in "Documents and Settings" It's not like WinXP. These are system files that are best left alone!
