Be very careful with Windows Explorer and junctions; it doesn't differentiate junctions from the base location and a delete will recurse into the target and delete it's contents, whereas the delete of a symlink will just remove the symlink. Just a trap for the unwary.

Actually, just tested this on the latest of Windows7, and it no longer does it, so handling of junctions has been improved sometime in the last few years.
