Hard links and directory junctions (the sort of directory symlinks that existed before Vista) never required administrative privileges.

- tiraniddo 10y agoWell at least with hard links that's not strictly true. Using official win32 apis you need write permission on the file you're linking to so you can't link to say a system file as a non admin. Try mklink with the /H switch. Of course that's a bit of a lie, if you use the NtSetInformationFile api you don't need write access :-)
