Create a Junction?

Hi,

I want to create a junction like "mklink /J" does using Windows API.

Re: how to send a message to the windows notification center?

Is there no winapi command to trigger a windows notification? I don't want to enable scripting or use powershell. There has to be a better way of doing this?
