The religious argument; Because I say so.
So you can search for any files on any of your drives by explicit criteria. And you can pull up all of the Windows protected files that match that criteria... and without any unauthorized access issues. I stand corrected. You are good. I was posting to someone trying to get 'there'. Skipping the re-parse points is eminently applicable; we are searching the drives.

But the problem isn't. Do me a favor and get me a list of all the files on your computer modified in the last week, or with the letters 'cat' in the file name. Not a list of ten thousand files and folders that include them but that distinct list... :)

In my solutions, I have gotten to this, too. Here is how I am handling it: Once you can identify a Reparse Point (which should be before you run your 'find' code) what I do is just skip the thing. In my case the reparse points are all on the drive, anyways so they will get 'hit' when I get to their actual location. Good luck.
