That ^^^ hasn't been true for how many years now? That was the OLD, deprecated mechanism which hasn't seen the light of day since what, WIndows 7 or 10?
13:36 45 $ unset CYGWIN; /bin/ln -s README.md test-link13:37 46 $ cmd /c dir /a: test-link
 Volume in drive C is Windows
 Directory of C:\Users\pattonma
11/17/2023  01:37 PM    <JUNCTION>     test-link [...]               1 File(s)              0 bytes               0 Dir(s)  241,024,512,000 bytes free
My environment is shared between Win10, Cygwin, and WSL and Dropbox for a bunch of targets of symlinks. Some 'DOS' tools, specifically AWS CLI can't follow Junctions so I had to take matters into my own hands.
