HI,
is there a directory alias that can be used for 32 bit apps to see contents of true C:\Windows\System32 on 64 bit OS? I see they always shortcut to C:\Windows\SysWow64, but in some cases I need them to open file located in 64 bit sys dir.
And second problem is that I had to reinstall my OS recently. I see then that standard folders hardlinked for backward compatibility (like C:\Documents and Settings) are boken. They said on attempt to follow something like permission denied or destination not accessible. So I deleted them. Is this a problem, or may they lack cease some older apps be working....I wanted to re-create all of them but don't have a complete list of all preset junctions. Can anybody tell which ones they are..Thx
