Hi,
I have a user's profile that has crashed. Luckily, I have full daily
backups of his profile, so can easily restore the files.
However, my problem is all the special junctions that Vista and Win7 have
added to the profile directories for backwards-compatibility. No backup
software I have seen (short of complete imaging software) seems to backup
and/or restore junction points.
So I find myself with the profile missing all the default junction points,
and quite frankly, not sure how to manually recreate them. No matter what I
do, I cannot seem to replicate the Vista/Win7's original junctions that are
hidden when "Hide Protected Operating System Files" is enabled. The
junction points that I am referring to are things like ("My Documents", "My
Music", "Application Data", "Local Settings", etc).
Is there a tool out there that can accomplish this for me? Or is there
somethign I can do by hand to recreate these junction points?
I have searched and searched the web for hours, but cannot seem to find
anyone who has asked this question before.
Any help, suggestions, pointers, etc would be greately appreciated.
Thanks!
Eric
