Yes, I know. But when UAC is enabled, it overriding this policy setting.

However, Windows allows creation of directory junctions just fine. But blocks Symlinks. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Tuesday, November 3, 2015 02:34:22 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
