Thanks. Something should be done here I think because otherwise you can really unwittingly create a mess if someone else has created junctions and you start renaming and moving files around. The behavior seems to be unexpected and potentially destructive. Better to not allow any (destructive) cygwin operations on such files than to have such unnatural behavior. I will look into getting mklink for XP in the meantime. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Finding-junction-points-in-cygwin-tp26260606p26272067.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
