You need a utility to create "symbolic links".  I'm not completely sure such
utilities exist for Windows (often what is advertised as a "symbolic link" is
really a "hard link" which cannot be used accross different disks).  For
example, the GNU "ln" utility ported from UNIX to windows only creates hard
links. You might look at the site below and/or search the net...

If you find something that works, I'd be interested!
