You should be able to use symlinks even on Windows these days (although granted they won't on portable media that uses a non-symlink friendly filesystem, regardless of OS).
Plus I'm not sure Windows XP supports true symlinks - I think you have to make do with "junctions" a.k.a. "reparse points" which are more shambolic than symbolic ;-) I know symlinks are available on Vista, Windows Server 2008 and later, but XP is still very common.
