I see you said something about that in another article, which I hadn't
read closely.  In the post I replied to, all you said was:

    Add this to winbase.h
    BOOLEAN WINAPI CreateSymbolicLink(LPTSTR lpSymlinkFileName,
      LPTSTR lpTargetFileName,
       DWORD  dwFlags
    );
    
    #define SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_DIRECTORY 1

Is modifying a header file that's provided by the Microsoft SDK,
as you advised, considered to be a good idea?  I wouldn't have
thought so.
