Try IgnoreLinks=8

IgnoreLinks=0 Allows to ignore hard links (junctions, reparse points) to directories in various functions. Note: The function "Synchronize dirs" uses a separate option "SyncIgnoreJunctions".
Sum of:
1: copy/move/calculate occupied space
2: internal packers (zip, tar)
4: branch view
8: find files (except when using Everything), re-scan tree
16: ignore links even when they are selected in the current directory. Otherwise only links in selected subdirectories are ignored.

Totally forgot about that variable. Thank you.

This said, It only ignore the linked folders, not the files. But got a workaround with the modules for that anyway (ntlinks>Obj_Type = file)
