Issue with symbolic linking of files

[offhub]

Describe what you noticed and did

1. Save as bat then run as admin in the sandbox:

@echo off

set targetFile="ping.exe"
set dir="C:\Windows\system32"

cd /d "%dir%" & cls
echo.
mklink "LinkRelative-TargetRelative.exe" "%targetFile%"
"LinkRelative-TargetRelative.exe"
echo.
mklink "LinkRelative-TargetAbsolute.exe" "%dir%\%targetFile%"
"LinkRelative-TargetAbsolute.exe"
echo.
mklink "%dir%\LinkAbsolute-TargetAbsolute.exe" "%dir%\%targetFile%"
"LinkAbsolute-TargetAbsolute.exe"
echo.
mklink "%dir%\LinkAbsolute-TargetRelative.exe" "%targetFile%"
"LinkAbsolute-TargetRelative.exe
