Starting from Windows Vista, Microsoft uses symbolic links and junction points of NTFS file system in order to make changes in the folders structure of Windows and keep the compatibility of applications written for older versions of Windows.
The NTFSLinksView application was developed to be a small utility that will display a list of all symbolic links and junctions in the specified folder, and their target paths. It also allows you to save the symbolic links / junctions list into text / html / xml / csv file.
NTFSLinksView doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - NTFSLinksView.exe
When you run NTFSLinksView, the main window displays the list of all NTFS symbolic links/junction points in your profile folder. If you want to view the NTFS links in other folders, simply type the folder path in the top text-box and press enter (or click the 'Go' button).
