Mount point problem

S

Sean Kavanaugh

Never having heard of mount points, I created a mount point on my only
volume (C:), which created a "c:\drive path" directory. Soon afterwards, my
antivirus software took ages to scan my hard drive. After 20+ hours of
scanning, I noticed I had nearly a million files on my disk! In the
'c:\drive path' JUNCTION is a copy of my c:\ drive, including a dir c:\drive
path\drive path! There are many more mirrors until the XP limit is hit. How
do I remove this JUNCTION point harmlessly? It all seems obvious now.

That'll teach you not to mess with things you don't understand!
