A symbolic link is a file-system object that points to another file-system
object. The object that is pointed to is called the target. Symbolic links are
transparent to users. The links appear as normal files or directories, and they
can be acted upon by the user or application in exactly the same manner.
Symbolic links are designed to aid in migration and application compatibility
with UNIX operating systems. Microsoft has implemented symbolic links to
function just like UNIX links.");
