Running out of space on your main drive? Junction points baby!

Why the fuck have I never heard about junction points?

If you don't know wtf either, a junction point is a directory you mount as a drive.

To try do this:

Create a directory on your main drive, call it something like "morespace"

Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory above the "morespace" folder.

Now type:

mountvol

This gives you a list of drive volumes you can mount.

Copy the name of the one you want without the last part that is the drive name

With the drive name (This wont work)
mountvol morespace \\?\Volume{2ce4089a-7981-11dc-b5f9-001a4d4ed6bb}\I:\

Without the drive name, this will work...
mountvol morespace \\?\Volume{2ce4089a-7981-11dc-b5f9-001a4d4ed6bb}\

Voila, now you have a folder that is actually your mounted drive, you have just expanded the space on your main drive with however large the drive you mounted is.

It will work exactly like you'd expect, install a game into morespace\mygame and the installer for the game won't know any difference.

Just DONT delete the folder you mounted, you have to unmount it if you want to remove it.

Here's how you unmount it:

mountvol morespace /D

NOW you can remove the morespace folder
