That's the way Symbolic links and Junction points act in Explorer. They behave like a real folder rather than a shortcut.

Thank you all. As Bree says, I knew I had seen it before, but did not realize it had been all the way back to XP. And then when robocopy copied the file it really became confusing,
Does anyone know why DIR or TREE do not show Symbolic Links?
I can't find an internal CMD, or internal program, which shows symbolic links. Thank you Kado897 for the link.
It does if you have authority (run as admin) and ask it to (add the /a switch).
You can type dir /? if you would like more details.Code:Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393] (c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
