Then, type the following command:. Save the file in the root folder as EnableSys. Replace the plus sign with a minus sign so that the command looks like this:. Save the file in the root folder as DisableSys. As you can see, both of these batch files run the DOS command Attrib, which allows you to set file and folder attributes.
We have to resort to the Attrib command because Windows Explorer allows you to set only the Read-only and Hidden attributes. In the case of EnableSys. In the case of DisableSys. The first step is to create a shortcut to the folder you want the junction point to refer to. The easiest way to create this shortcut is to open the CurrentWork folder, pull down the File menu, and select the New Shortcut command.
After you click OK and Next, the wizard will prompt you to provide a name for the shortcut. Type Target in the text box, as shown in Figure B , then click Finish. Navigate to the root directory and double-click the EnableSys.
Keep in mind that it may take a couple of seconds for the junction point to take effect. First, access the root directory, double-click the DisableSys. You can either edit the Target string of the Target shortcut file, as shown in Figure D , or you can delete the Target shortcut file, launch the Create Shortcut Wizard, and create a new one.
Using junction points can save you time and effort by simplifying the process of navigating your hard disk in both Windows Explorer and in your application's Open and Save As dialog boxes. Creating junction points manually is easy once you know how, and it spares you from having to install yet another utility in your already overburdened operating system.
