Here's a very detailed explanation by MVP Jimmy Brush of
the Vista folder hierarchy:


"Since junctions aren't really folders, it is not possible to access
them, and any attempt to do so will give you an "Access Denied" error.


Except that the above is technically incorrect. The Access Denied when
attempting to access a junction has nothing at all to do with the fact that
they are junctions and has everything to do with the fact that they have a
Deny for Everyone ACE on them.
