// To create Symlinks you must be admin.
// You can add "ASADMIN" and you will get a UAC dialog, or you can start MC as admin.

// LNKTYPE	3 = Symlink
// MC.Utils.CreateLink ASADMIN LNKTYPE=3 LNKSRC="<new source folder>" LNKTRG="<existing target folder>"

// <new source folder>  Must not exists.
// <existing target folder>  It exists.

// UAC dialog is shown and MCAdmin (Admin helper Process) is starts
// SymLink folder is created and points to existing target folder
