Windows Explorer shell extensions for adding a tooltip overlay on symbolic links.
I originally released this in 2005 as an aid in visually distinguishing real folders and files from symbolic links in Windows Explorer.
It has since been superseded by Hermann Schinagl's Link Shell Extension which has incorporated the icon overlay and has many, many more features.
In the code here you'll find...
- JunctionIconOverlay - The icon overlay extension.
- JunctionIconOverlaySetup - The setup project that installs all junction-related extensions.
- JunctionIconTooltip - A sample tooltip provider that could be adapted to show the destination of a junction. Not used because I can't figure out how to only enable it for junctions.
