      Bug/Problem Description:

           Not sure if this is a bug or a security implementation, but on Windows 10 Edition if you go through the process of create a junction for the minecraft world directory... it will not work.

      How To Reproduce:

           Open the command prompt and use 

      mklink /J "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds" "#:path\to\other\directory"

           Go into Minecraft Windows 10 Edition(AKA Minecraft UWP, AKA Minecraft Bedrock Edition) and go to the world selection menu. You'll see that no matter how many saves you have in the target of the junction, there will be no worlds. Minecraft ignores junctions.

      *P.S.
      *

      I really do hope this is a bug and not security measure,

      Also, thanks to the people who read all the bug reports. You ladies and gentlemen do a good job doing this!
