Those links allow one .exe to be substituted for another. For instance, mkisofs.exe is not really available on windows; however, genisoimage.exe offers the same functionality and takes the command line parameters. Using mklink mkisofs.exe genisoimage.exe, you create a file system entry for mkisofs.exe that points to the same file as genisoimage.exe
