Hi
I am trying to get the target of a junction in my program, but the only way I managed do it is:
- Requesting Backup privileges
- p-invoke CreateFile with special parameters to get a handle to the file/dir.
- DeviceIoControl call to the get the target.
The 1st step will not work with normal user accounts, because they have no Backup privileges, and I don't want to get the UAC User Consent window every time I do this.
I think this is doable somehow, because a normal "dir /A:L" command resolves the target of the links.
