Subsystem

FS

What steps will reproduce the bug?

If you use fs.symlink under windows, if you don't use UAC, you will get an "operation not permitted" error.
But adding "type=junction" option can eliminate UAC, but only folders can correctly create soft links. The file will also be recognized as a folder, and the created soft link cannot be used.

fs.symlink('C:\\Users\\olereo\\Desktop\\me\\excel_file.xlsx','C:\\Users\\olereo\\Desktop\\me\\excel_file_sl.xlsx','junction',err=>console.log(err))
fs.symlink('C:\\Users\\olereo\\Desktop\\me\\text_file.txt','C:\\Users\\olereo\\Desktop\\me\\text_file_sl.txt','junction',err=>console.log(err))
fs.symlink('C:\\Users\\olereo\\Desktop\\me\\Folders','C:\\Users\\olereo\\Desktop\\me\\Folders_sl','junction',err=>console.log(err))

    NTFS junction points can only point to folders. This is not a bug in Node.js, just a limitation of the OS. I think it should be documented, both in Node and in libuv.
