This is why I use a directory junction

What is a directory junction and what is the purpose? Thanks.

First off - THANK YOU SHARKE for the best tip EVER!!
I just shed 80GB of my OS drive, and I'm ready for Spring and look FABULOUS!! 
 
And SCOOK - 
My biggest dilemma with a junction would be forgetting it was put in place...
Unless it's flagged somewhere in plain sight, I would be looking at the location shown in CC and forget the files were being re-routed...
 
...and why does the preferred location in CC change if I log off??


I get the advantage of the junction after knowing that, so...I need to convince myself and just do it...

There is an entry on the drive showing the junction.

Click on the entry and it takes you to the physical location.

Coolness x 3.
 
Thanks again scook. (and sharke!)

Wow!  36GB, now 75 out of 250.  Sweet!

Sharke, thanx for the CCleaner tip.  I also put the picture cache in CCleaner.

Thanks Sharke,  61GB Here ... ;-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this tip.
 
This needs to be more widely known and bumped every once in a while!

78g! This is the thread of the week. Thanks!
