Search for links

Post by *Giovanni »

I've searched the help file and forum but cannot find an answer: How does one search for links (files and/or folders) on an NTFS filesystem? Stuff like the folder "Application Data" within a user's profiles folder. I'm trying things like searching using the tc plugin for attributes or attributestr but an not sure what the value should be. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can use Plugins tag with tc.file type field. Its reparse point value corresponds to junctions and folder symbolic links (but not to file symbolic links). Also you can use my NTLinks plugin.

Thank you MVV, searching for "reparse point" worked - I never would have found that!
