Junction Redirect

By | October 7, 2025

It is not always possible to change to the storage location used by an application. This can be fixed by using a Junction that will redirect applications to the new locations.

  • Junctions are per user.
  • The origin folder must be deleted before creating the junction

Here are some examples.

Autodesk Desktop Connector:

  1. Quit the connector
  2. Move the files in C:\Users\%username%\DC to the new location
  3. Create the junction
mklink /J "C:\Users\%username%\DC" "E:\AutoDesk\DC"

If needed, the Reset Utility may be used to reset the setup. It is located here:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Desktop Connector\Reset\ResetDesktopConnector.exe

Bluebeam Studio

mklink /J "C:\Users\%username%\\AppData\Local\Revu\data\Sessions" "E:\Revu\Sessions"
