I say "symlink" for brevity but on Windows in the common case it will probably be a junction.

I don't think either works reliably on Windows. They will only work if group policy permits it (and symlinks will never work on win7 if you are an admin, ironically) and lots of programs don't deal with junctions correctly.

Junctions worked very well for me since Windows 2000, I've never had any problems with them.
