Main menu > View > Views > Details
Make sure this is active.

Even after being in details view, if you can't see anything in junction target, then an obvious conclusion is the item question is not a junction at all.

Run this through the Address Bar:

Code: Select all

colorfilter("attr:junction>FFFFFF,FB4F04");
It will color junctions in Tree and List in any view and independent of any other settings.

Below the junction target column remains empty for the files, even after running the code you posted.

1. How exactly did you create such a "junction" file?
2. Navigate to the folder that contains these "junctions"
3. #1005; in the address bar, hit enter
4. In the new command prompt enter:
dir /al
Hit enter.
5. Show the screenshot of that command prompt window

File not found is what is shown in the command prompt ? The junction was created few weeks ago !

a:l !

I have to try the command again, tomorrow.



Edit: Attempt again - Results on hold

I ran this command; dir /a:l /s there are numerous junctions on the system but the one junction that I've been testing with XY is not listed and I don't understand why when I know for a fact the junction was created for the files within the folder for which I've been wondering why XY junction is not working.

There wouldn't be a discrepancy between an Admin and a Standard user in XY ?

You can not have a junction to FILES.
So, the parent folder of the files in question is a junction, that doesn't mean everything inside automatically turns to junctions too.
Good bye.

You're telling me you can't hardlink files, is that your definite answer ?
