In case the list didn't know, from the Creator's Update onwards Windows
10 allows normal users to create symlinks if the machine is put into
Developer mode:

I don't know about others, but this will be a major time saver for me at
least, I had been using hard links on Windows which are prone to
accidental data loss.
