title: Windows symlinks
body: <p>I am trying to create a symbolic link between a "reports" folder sitting inside each users home directory to the "reports" folder in the master.</p>
  
  <p>In short I am trying to convert the following in a language Windows will understand</p>
  
  <pre><code>for all users
     cd /path/to/firstname.lastname/reports
     ln -s ../masterUsername/reports
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried </p>
  
  <pre><code>MKLINK /d /path/to/masterUsername/reports /path/to/firstname/lastname/reports
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>first user went fine but it complains that the link already exists for the second user. </p>
  
  <p>I also tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>/j
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not sure what exactly is the difference between Junction and Directory in this case.</p>
  
  <p>Help please!!</p>
