Windows Vista and later extended symlinks to be proper residents of the
filesystem. NTFS junction points are still around. Look at mklink /? and
you'll see you can make all three. The equivalent API is CreateSymbolicLink.
Note the default security policy for Vista and Win7 enforces that only those
in the Administrators group can create symlinks (see Local Security Policy >
Local Polices > User Rights Assignment), and so those running with UAC on
would have to elevate in order to use this. Non-admins could not use it at
all unless their administrators adjusted security policy, which is not
likely to be the case. So you'd have a pretty bad experience for many users
no matter what you try.
