Try using System Restore to go back to a time just before the junctions were
deleted.

wit some time and your output I was able to recreate the junctions
using mklink. Unfortunately I couldn't use system restore.

I started deleting some of the junctions before I knew what they were. In
particular i deleted the "Documents and Settings" junction and now my
outlook won't work because it can't find the .pst files. Do you know of a
list of junctions and their targets? Perhaps MSFT has a script that can
restore the junctions for people like me who know just enough to be
dangerous.

I did the same and reinstalled windows.I didn't have a list, system restore
is turned off, and Vista installs quickly.
