shell - mklink permission on windows 8 -


i need create symbolic links via mklink user, not administrator. have set via secpol.msc , security settings → local policies → user rights assignment rule create symbolic links user, logged in. after have restarted laptop , tried create symlink.

i still error: not have sufficient privilege perform operation.

the strange thing when create junction (mklink /d /j ...) works fine. other mklink operations not.

so question simple, how can need set permissions in windows 8 mklink work under user, not administrator?

thank help.

user account control requires elevation commands can link accross smb boundaries.

junction not require elevation cannot link accross.

the way around springs mind disabling uac or runas admin. not recommend this.
