Default: 0

Windows file systems use reparse points to represent special file system objects such as NTFS Junctions, Symbolic Links and AFS Mount Points. Windows applications must be designed to work with Symbolic Links because several standard file system functions behave differently when the provided path specifies a reparse point. Although there is not a significant impact for Symbolic Links to Directories and Mount Points to volume root directories, Symbolic Links to Files can result in applications misinterpreting the file size and attributes.

The ReparsePointPolicy value permits alternate behaviors for reparse point objects on a global basis. In this version, there is only one policy option which permits Symbolic Links to Files to be represented with the target file's size and attributes in the output of FindFirstFile, GetFileAttributes, and GetFileAttributesEx operations.

0: All Reparse Points are treated as reparse points.

1: Reparse Points to Files treated as the target File.
