  2. NTFS links - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_links

    Symbolic links are reparse points which operate similarly to Junction Points, or symbolic links in Unix or Linux, and accept relative paths and paths to files as well as directories. Support for directory and UNC paths were added in NTFS 3.1.

  3. Symbolic link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link

    In Windows Vista and later, when the working directory path ends with a symbolic link, the current parent path reference, .., will refer to the parent directory of the symbolic link rather than that of its target.

  4. NTFS reparse point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_reparse_point

    Directory junctions are soft links (they will persist even if the target directory is removed), working as a limited form of symbolic links (with an additional restriction on the location of the target), but it is an optimized version allowing faster processing of the reparse point with which they are implemented, with less overhead than the ...

  5. NTFS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS

    Microsoft includes several default tags including symbolic links, directory junction points and volume mount points. When the Object Manager parses a file system name lookup and encounters a reparse attribute, it will reparse the name lookup, passing the user controlled reparse data to every file system filter driver that is loaded into Windows.

  6. NTFS volume mount point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_volume_mount_point

    The mounted volume is not limited to the NTFS filesystem but can be formatted with any file system supported by Microsoft Windows. However, though these are similar to POSIX mount points found in Unix and Unix-like systems, they only support local filesystems; on Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, NTFS symbolic links can be used to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_File_System...

    The server component of Distributed File System was first introduced as an add-on to Windows NT 4.0 Server, called "DFS 4.1", [5] and was later included as a standard component of all editions of Windows 2000 Server. Client-side support is included in Windows NT 4.0 and later versions of Windows.

  8. Talk:Symbolic link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Symbolic_link

    A "reparse point" is essentially a symbolic link or directory junction. As such, Windows 7 and Vista are limited to a chain of 31 symbolic links or junctions. I believe the above quotation should be replaced with the following line: Windows 7 and Vista support a maximum of 31 reparse points (and therefore symbolic links) for a given path.

  9. Device file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_file

    Windows NT \Device: Microsoft: The \Device directory is a part of Windows NT object namespace. Windows NT Win32 Subsystem \\.\ Microsoft: The \\.\ prefix makes supporting APIs access the Win32 device namespace instead of the Win32 file namespace. The Win32 device names are symbolic links to device names under Windows NT \Device directory.
