is it possible to find out a folder is actually a hard link created by mklink? I want to get folders and subsequent sub-folders, but hard linked folders drops me into a loop.

I appreciate any help or clues to solve the problem.

Folders can't be hard-links, at least not on NTFS file-systems, but they can be symbolic-links or (in Windows) junctions (reparse-points). To see which folders in a folder are either sym-links or junctions you can use the cmd-command:

dir /A:L

  • Thanx Martin, would you help me to find junction? I searched with no success in built-in and external commands of Windows. – Mehrdad Ahankhah Oct 26 '14 at 04:24
  • The command "dir /A:L" does just that, it list all junctions and sym-links in a folder, denoting a sym-link by and a junction by , depending on locale. Add /S to make it recursive. – Martin Oct 26 '14 at 12:40
