Bug Description

As you know, U1 is restricted to home directories, and their subdirectories, including mounted directories, but not symlinks.

Mounting directories is well known in the linux world, but in the windows world, NTFS junctions - the functional equivalent - is not.

As a enhancement therefore, I suggest the documentation could cover the creation of NTFS junctions, where the home-directory-only restriction is mentioned. (It probably wouldn't do any harm to mention mounting for linux users either).

Actually, this will depend upon #1017450 since it's an issue with junction points.
