[QUOTE="angusmann, post: 43064, member: 15701"] Hi there. I have no need to create any new junction points but I have done it many times before and I know it works. Here is an example. Imagine you store your videos in a folder called "videos" on drive C. Inside the "videos" folder are sub-folders, like "action", "drama" etc Drive C is almost full, so you need to create extra space. Imagine you have a second hard disc with plenty of space, drive D. You can create a folder on drive D and call it "extraspace" Then create a sub-folder of "videos" on drive C and call it "romance" You just create a junction link from the "romance" folder to the "extraspace" folder. When windows looks at the "romance" folder it will think and behave as though it is on the C drive, even though it is actually on the D drive. You can treat it the same as any other folder, except whatever changes you make in the "romance" folder will actually happen in the "extraspace" folder. Also if you go to the "extraspace" folder and delete/add files etc the changes will appear in the "romance" folder. There is a freeware program to create the junction link, because it can be difficult to do manually....look here.
