Yes, but also, you must be running cmd.exe *as* Admin if you have UAC enabled,

That sounds like old information. MKLINK is a cmd.exe builtin.
Simple test case:
c:\> set PATH=
c:\> mklink /?
Creates a symbolic link.
MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target
/D Creates a directory symbolic link. Default is a file
symbolic link.
/H Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link.
/J Creates a Directory Junction.
Link Specifies the new symbolic link name.
Target Specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link
refers to.
c:\> mklink ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents Windows
You do not have sufficient privilege to perform this operation.
Sigh...
