Using the /j parameter, it works for directories and you do not need elevated permissions.

That creates symbolic links to directories, which may be relative to the current directory, e.g.:

“`
cd /d %USERPROFILE%
move .android AppData\Local
mklink /d .android AppData\Local\.android
“`

Note that I vaguely recall tinkering (via GPO or local policy) with the behavior of links on Windows, which may explain why I had to explicitly request symlinkd’s instead of whatever you’re creating (junctions?).
