Symbolic Links in Windows (sorta)
Okay, so this isn’t exactly equivalent to how symbolic linking is done in Linux, but it could be pretty handy. You basically use the “SUBST” command to assign a drive letter to whichever folder you want a shortcut to.
subst <drive letter> <folder path>
subst P: “C:\Documents and Settings\jimbobray\My Documents\work\logs\5-14-2007\txt”
A word of caution, though: If you delete anything via the substituted drive, it will bypass the Recycle Bin and be gone forever and ever. Amen.

MS noob!
Oh, so this is common knowledge?
Just thought I was helping out certain MS-fanboys learn about the OS they love so much.
