Thank you for your support it is appreciated. I have looked at Sysmon many times as a potential video, not easy as it is very low level, and very little documentation. I will look again and see.
So let's say I have a workstation /server where the explorer.exe is corrupted. All the DISM commands failed to solve the issue. if I copy the explorer.exe that is located in c:\windows from a working workstation, it will be useless because actually I am just copying the hard link and not the file itself. So the solution would be to copy the file from the WinSXS folder on the working workstation/server but I suppose it will be a PITA because the file is protected. Am I right? 🤔
Excellent question, when you copy even a hard-link off the volume ( remember the purpose of the HL to avoid duplicate files), the file system sends a "copy" of the real file, so yes you can take explorer off one computer and paste to another. I have done this in a pinch. WinSxS allows copies but you can not over-write or delete files as they are owned by the "Trusted Installer".
Thanks for your support. You may split a large 12TB drive into partitions and boot to a 400GB partition and yet use junction points to automatically move unwanted files to a larger partition on that same drive. Another use would be VM *.vhdx which are very large files, you have a smaller partition for all of your VM's and you save a large partition as your target directory to hold all your *.vhdx files for easy backup.
TechSavy I have a question:Is windows 11 stop update at 23H2? Beceause my father said on that version windows version 23H2 will stop upgrade and you need install some kind a software to trick windows to keep updating
True, but I used to delete sometimes 400 to 600 *.dlls from \system32 and reboot and wager my students if it would boot to Windows or not. It rarely failed to boot. Thank you for your support!
Calling WinSxS as "Win-side-by-side" would be much easier. Great Video!
Thank you, "Win-side-by-side" would be much easier!!!! Thank you for the support, it is appreciated.

Real nice video, I learned a lot Thoe symbolic links are used to connect into NAS drives Posted on FACEBOOK
I really wanted to cover alternate streams and many more 3rd party driver reparse points but my video was already 40 minutes. Thanks for watching!

What are the benefits of junction points when used with partitions?
Thanks for your support.

No, Windows will never stop updating. Now once Microsoft declares a version of Windows "end of support", yes then no more updates.

Your explanations are of another level. I work as a VET computer science teacher and always recomend your videos to my students.
Your feedback is encouraging, these videos take 40-60 hours to make! Thanks for taking the time and sharing.

Deleting System32 is not recommended even it’s hard linked to WinSxS
True, but I used to delete sometimes 400 to 600 *.dlls from \system32 and reboot and wager my students if it would boot to Windows or not. It rarely failed to boot. Thank you for your support!
