I just checked on a Windows 8 machine and confirmed that the command program "mklink.exe" requires administrator privileges to create a file symlink.
The command "mklink x.jar classworlds.jar" fails with the message:
You do not have sufficient privilege to perform this operation.
If I run that same command from a window that was started with Administrator privileges, then the link is created as expected.
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc766301.aspx gives the explanation that creating symlinks may expose security bugs in programs not designed to handle symlinks.
