title: Why is SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege ignored on Windows 8?
body: <p>I'd like to enable my standard user account (i.e. not elevated) to be able to call CreateSymbolicLink. </p>
  
  <p>However, on Win8, even adding "Everyone" to the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege ("Create Symbolic Links" in secpol.msc) under local group policy still results in STATUS_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD. Why?</p>
