Don't have a clue what it means but it said I should fix it before moving on?? Thanks anyone.

I had in last scan same issue, that in my case I can not fix. Probably it is due to different paths that you can find in Windows of different languages and coming from upgrades of previous version.

I've never had that one on either of my Win 7 to 10 upgraded machines.

You could try emptying the folder by in IE > Tools > Internet options > Advanced then scroll down to Security and check the box for -

Empty Temporary Internet File folder when browser is closed then close IE and run the Pre-Scan again.

Have you noticed any adverse effects with that reported Reparse Point ?

[Boggin]

I've run the Pre-Scan and it snags the same Reparse Point, but mine is for Guest, and while I've run the repair, I haven't rechecked it but as I don't have a Guest account then I'll just leave it.

- Yes, it's language related. I also have a non-english Win 7 system and on my system the english shortcut "My Music" is translated to "Mijn Muziek". And then WR reports an error.

[Boggin]

Are you sure that is what it's related to ?

My system is English (UK).

- @Beachinmoney: Yes, you can run the program to repair that one "reparse point". It's another word for a "Symbolic link".
