An NTFS junction point (JP) is a type of NTFS reparse point in the NTFS file system. It requires NTFS version 5.0 or later, which can be created (or converted from a FAT partition) using Windows 2000 or later (e.g. Windows XP). Junction Points can be used in a similar way to symbolic links — allowing the creation of a link to a folder that is, for most intents and purposes, the same as the folder itself. This has many benefits over a Windows shell shortcut (.lnk) file, such as allowing you to access files within the shortcut via explorer, the console, etc. Junction points can only link to folders and volumes.
