Confirm junctions haven't changed

Oct

The code below creates a list of the junctions in subfolders of the specified folders. The reason for doing that is in the beginning comment.

I'll post sample output separately to point out the problem.

Code:
:: Junction_Check.btm
::
:: By Joseph "Rick" Reinckens II
:: Nov 2018 No copyright claimed
:: Uses TCC v. 18 but should work on others
::
:: Create a list of junctions showing the folders they are in.
::
:: This is because I have a large number of junctions from
:: different versions of an image editing program that point to
:: a combination set containing scripts, brushes, etc., and
:: something happened that changed all the junction targets from
:: S:\Program_Data\.. to C:\Program_Data\.. and the programs didn't
:: give errors indicating the change.
::
:: I can run this periodically to check that that hasn't happened again.

:: ********** WARNING **********
:: This CAN run in the root folder for the various drives. But full
:: partitions have a LOT of junctions so it takes awhile.  If you
:: run it on one don't assume it has hung up.

@echo off

    Set outfile="S:\Program_Data\All_Junctions.txt"

:: Add a header
    Echo.>>%outfile
    Echo.>>%outfile
    Echo ========================>>%outfile
    Echo RAN CHECK %_isodate>>%outfile

Example output is below. Something changed all of these from S:\ to C:\. I changed all of them back except the one in red that I found using the above program.

To give an example of why this is helpful, the four PSP versions total 75 junctions. I use a different TCC program to create junctions for each new version installation (which is annually.)
