Windows 10 show everything in my Home folder

I've set my Documents, Music, Photos, and Videos to save to a different drive. In Windows File Explorer these folders appear in my Home folder. Can I achieve this in XYplorer? Instead of just the folders that are physically stored there.

Create .lnk files and put them into "Links" (Configuration | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List | Show Links folder)?

I don't use the tree much if at all, but I see what you mean about using that Links folder - my custom links do show up inside Links and at the top under "This PC" if I have the tree open.

But I'd prefer to get Documents, Music, Photos, and Videos to appear in the list view under my home folder, the way FIle Explorer "helpfully" does after I redirect them to another drive under Settings, Storage, Save locations.

Just create junctions?

I did that but it puts duplicate items in File Explorer so I deleted them.

But I put them back now and you know what it works perfectly in XYplorer which is where I spend all my time anyway so I'll keep them. Thanks
