This tutorial will show you how to find and list all hard links, symbolic links, and junction points and their target source in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
There are three types of file links supported in the NTFS file system: hard links, junctions, and symbolic links. Otherwise known as Reparse Points.

Symbolic Links are soft links that are basically advanced shortcuts. You can create a symbolic link to a local or remote file, folder, or...

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable User Account Control (UAC) for the built-in Administrator account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Windows includes a hidden built-in Administrator account that serves as the local system administrator with elevated rights by default without needing Run as administrator or UAC (User Account Control) for elevation approval.
When User Account Control (UAC) is enabled, Windows prompts for consent or prompts for credentials of a valid local administrator account before starting a program or task that requires a full administrator access token. The UAC prompt mitigates malicious software running under elevated credentials without the user or administrator being aware of its activity.
