FWIW What I normally use for a 'screensaver' is R4 running through Winamp which I start manually when I'm not using my PC.

Robocopy is PLENTY smart to handle junction points. You just have to tell it what to do!! From robocopy's help:
/XJ :: eXclude Junction points. (normally included by default).
Obviously the kinds of tools you recommend in the video are what most users should stick with. But for folks that are comfortable with the command line, I'd hate to have them get scared away by misinformation.

Hey guys,
Thanks for addressing my problem moving my My Documents folder from my SSD to my microSD card. I took your advice and moved the data and then tried to add the micrSD card folder to my libraries. Unfortunately, I get a message that the folder can't be added because it's on removable storage. Wow, this is very strange to me, but I guess it makes sense. Sounds like you guys were able to make it happen on your end, so any suggestions would be greatly appreceated. Thanks.
