NTFS junction point

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_junction_point details how to use junction points as 'live shortcuts' - effectively creating a virtual folder at the OS layer that is exposed to programs transparently and you can control the contents. sounds useful for mounting a ../my documents/encrypted folder inside your home folder - instead of bolting true crypt onto a drive letter.
