How to change a directory junction point
Good Morning, Recently I've been having problems with my Vista Ultimate. 1. It is my personal laptop with two users, me and Administrator. 2. While installing a program, I keep getting c:\Documents and Settings\All Users cannot be found. Install terminates. 3. When I do a dir /ad I see the following: Junction Documents and Settings [y:\Users] Junction Programs [y:\Users] The laptop configuration is: Intel Core 2 Duo Cpu T7700 2,40GHz 4GB RAM 32-Bit OS RAID0 Harddrive (2x250GB) The system has no Y: drive or partition. I have googled this problem and can find no solution. So my questions a 1. How can I change the Junction points? 2. If I go the route of re-applying the original system image, will I be able to use a backup to restore programs that have already been registered/activated (i.e. Office Home, etc.)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Jasper Very frustrated Vista user 8{.
