In the context menu, select "Create shortcut." Windows will then tell you that a shortcut cannot be created there and ask if you want it on the desktop instead. Select "Yes."
I thought they were called symbolic links in Windows.

A symbolic link is a file-system object that points to another file-system object. The object that's pointed to is called the target. Symbolic links are transparent to users. The links appear as normal files or directories, and they can be acted upon by the user or application in exactly the same manner.
