FYI, there is something called "junctions" that NTFS supports. It
works more or less like symbolic links on GNU/Linux or Unix
systems. You need a special command line tool to create them.

You can find one such tool here:

I use it to make a symbolic link from my "emacs-22.xyz..." to a folder
with the simpler name "emacs", and it works great.
