| | Vista - Junction, Symbolic Link and a Custom Dir Function |

| | Junction, Symbolic Link and a Custom Dir Function I have been playing with Vista and it uses a lot of junctions. If I open cmd and go to C:\user\<username>\and type dir /ah. The Junctions show up fine and after the Name of the Junction the real path is displayed. Scott Hanselman wrote a function called edir (http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Making...owerShell.aspx that works great for showing which objects are Junctions, but how do I get the path the Junction is pointing to? Also Vista introduces Symbolic Links, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...olic_links.asp , which seem very similar to Junctions. Symbolic Links show up as SYMLINKD in cmd's dir but as Junctions when using Scott's edir. I could not find Symbolic Links in the Vista SDK FileAttributes section. Is there any easy way to add the Symbolic Links to the attribute column. Thanks, Brian JT |
