Drive Mapping - Like Unix links

How does one map a directory on a Windows machine to another directory on the same windows machine? I know you can map a drive letter to a shared directory, but we want two subdirectories on the same directory path level to reference the same files in one of the directories... no new drive letters. Unix uses a link that does exactly this... how on Windows?
 
One way this could be done is to use DFs (Distributed File System). It's automatically installed on Win2K servers. Once you create the DFs Root, the "folders" in this directory can point to the same source.
