Command palette won't launch apps inside junctions

[martixy]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.97.1

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Area(s) with issue?

Command Palette

Steps to reproduce

I have a program that I put elsewhere in my system and created a junction to my programs folder. (Cuz that's where powertoys run was set to look for apps previously. On that note I wish I could config ComPalette the same way.)

This stumps Command Palette.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Launch app

❌ Actual Behavior

Nothing happens

Additional Information

Win10
Running as admin

Other Software

Hi @martixy,
Just to be clear, do the junctions go to folders with app binaries (not shortcuts)? I just want to track it through the correct part of the Command Palette.

[martixy]

Yep. Not a shortcut, the actual .exe

...although I also have a shortcut to the junctioned folder on my desktop and that also doesn't work.
