I believe the true source of this issue may be Explorer not properly checking to see if a "directory junction point" / "folder junction point" is really a folder or is a file. The "FolderName.{CLSID}" syntax for creating a folder junction point has been around since Win95 and is documented in MSDN; see for example http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/shellcc/shell/Shell_Adv/nse_junction. htm or http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/periodic/period96/S332.htm Doing the same operation with a folder instead of a file, in this case using the HTML Application CLSID, leads to an IE error message. I'm not going to get into whether the folder-level functionality should exist in this fashion or not. -- Mike Bazarewsky
