Enabling Windows users to create symlinks
Raw
README.md

To allow Windows users to create symlinks:

  • Run secpol.msc. This (reportendly) does not exist on some versions of Windows and you will have to use a workaround.
  • Go to Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment -> Create symbolic links -> Add User or Group...
  • Type your username in the text field and click "Check Names".
  • Click OK, then click OK, and close the Local Security Policy window.

See the screenshot.
