On Windows you can create symlinks

  • either if you start the programm, you want to create a symlink in (e.g. cmd), as Administrator.
  • or if you give your user/usergroup the permission to create symlinks (here is an explanation, how to do this).

The second way is not working for me, when the user, whom I want to give the permission, is an administrator. Is there a solution for this issue?

Thx

  • I think, you mean exactly the same way, that is descripted here and what I've linked to in my initial post (i.stack.imgur.com/MsSyK.png). Right? So, as I've already said -- that does NOT work for admin users.
