TC treats built-in directory junctions differently than mklink /J ones

[Dalai]

On a normal Windows installations, those junctions like "SendTo", "Application Data", "Start Menu", etc... have a particular rule set:

Code: Select all

Object: Everyone, DENY List folder/read data, this folder only, not inherited

I saw this rule when comparing the ACLs of the built-in SendTo and the user-generated one, but somehow I missed that this particular rule denies something. And I thought it doesn't matter. Looks like I was wrong.

The same ACL rule that is also responsible for the effect described by the OP.

Now it makes sense. Thanks!
