Hi Eric, You've trapped into a dark, seldom seen world. There is no great documentation or anything else. My knowledge is from the study of the NTFS file system and some tools which are creating such symbolic links. A reparse point is a small script or some data inside a file system entry which says: "no, I'm not your file you're asking for, but I know where to get it from"

This is what the .Net SDK has to say about it: "The file contains a reparse point, which is a block of user-defined data associated with a file or a directory." I guess this is probably my own ignorance, but would someone kindly explain reparse points to me? I could not find anything with google on the matter.
