Create windows sybmolic link shortcut

Question

Can a Windows synonym shortcut be created so that the location "/home/" maps to "c:\" drive ?

Another way, if I navigate via DOS to "/home/" then "c:/" drive is navigation target.

Note : I'm not looking for a cygwin suggestion as this needs to be navigable via DOS.

Update : I've renamed this question I wasn't aware of "symbolic link" term.

@Ramhound I think its "symbolic link" as this will allow my to navigate to dir with String of my choosing ? — blue-sky, Mar 13 '15 at 12:01
@NathanKerr posted link refer's to environment variables ? I don't think environment variables can be used to set shortcut paths? — blue-sky, Mar 13 '15 at 12:01
The best way to get an answer to your question is to update your question to use the correct term. A symbolic link would allow you to create a symbolic representation to `Folder A` and `Folder B`. In other words `Folder B` would be `Folder A`. — Ramhound, Mar 13 '15 at 12:09
@blue-sky True, i was thinking of use within a script, however the "doskey" command may be of some use. — Nathan Kerr, Mar 13 '15 at 12:09

If you use NTFS, you can create a junction. Here's how to create it.

NTFS also supports symbolic links in Vista and later, and can be created using mklink command.
