That's right Don. My files are on
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming

So is this junction is a "fake" directory to fool old programs, to make them
believe they are writing to a folder when in reality they are writing to
another one? Is there a way we could create our own junctions?

Thank you for your reply.
