Windows Vista (Maybe Win7) Infinitely Nested AppData Application Data Folder

Used the following on a machine:

 

.- trying: https://sourceforge.net/projects/junctionbox/
    
    - there is a loop formed - appdata to application data. messes up scans and stuff
        - it happens when you are browsing and you get the "you do not have permissions" message.
        - this blows away a DENY permission that is supposed to be there. hilarity ensues.

    
    c) Run JunctionBox.exe
    d) Select "All Profiles and System Junctions" from dropdown.
    d) Click "Backup Junctions" button.
    e) Name the backup file whatever and let it do its thing.
    f) Click "Restore Junctions" button.
    g) Select "DefaultJunctions.ntj"
    h) Let it do its thing.
    i) When you look in Windows Explorer, some of your folders will have little arrows on them that look like the "Shortcut to.." arrows. Those are the junctions that have been restored.
    j) When you click on them, you get the "Access is denied" error message that I hate.
    k) That was easy and it all looks good now. I'll post if I find out otherwise.
