They aren't. You need to be very careful with junctions. Firstly, if
you delete a junction directly, you will delete the original folder as
well! To make this worse, there is no way to tell from explorer if a
folder is a junction or not.
Anders' trick is still cool, but just be very careful with it. MS
didn't write a tool to create junctions for a very good reason :)
