It's possible to make symlinks to directories in Windows.

I know you can do it using a directory with a special name including a GUID 
like this:
  Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
  This is a symlink to My Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Sysinternals has a command-line tool to create and delete these:

Wouldn't the capability to make and inspect these be a neat addition to this 
library?

Cheers,
