Actually, you probably should *not* include these directories 
explicitly. Because they are junction points, the actual data is stored 
somewhere else, usually on the same file system, and already is getting 
backed up. By including the directories explicitly, you would basically 
on restore create a real directory instead of a junction point, which 
could wreak havoc with .NET updates in the future (as well as many other 
issues, I'm sure).

Your suggestion to reinstall .Net is a good one. Personally, I think 
that after a restore, it is a good idea to reinstall as much software as 
you can, to straighten out any glitches.

Kevin
