Problem
This is my directory structure
F:\dir\lev1\lev2\lev3
Consider there are files at every level of this directory structure. I'd like to create a Symbolic Link in F:\dir to the directory F:\dir\lev1\lev2\lev3.
Command Used
F:\dataset2>mklink /d symlink--lev3 "lev1\lev2\lev3"
symbolic link created for symlink--lev3 <<===>> lev1\lev2\lev3
When I open symlink--lev3 , it takes me back to the parent level i.e. F:\dataset2. I even tried using Full Path but the issue remains.
Any idea why I can't create a symbolic link to a subfolder ? Is my logic incorrect ?

. The link is worth a read by the way - it might give a clue as to what is wrong (although I couldn't spot anything else obvious)
