Creating a shortcut link to a single file is easy enough, it was when creating a shortcut to folders that I had a problem. Within WinXP at least, I couldn't find a way to do that easily and really didn't want to install other software from the thread that was linked to do it. I thought it would help others having problems creating links to entire folders.
Selecting copy in WinXP doesn't have an option to then just paste a shortcut to the new location, it will only copy the entire contents again. And for myself, I really don't want duplicates of my library in 2 places on the same drive. I know I can change the location of the Calibre Library, but I'd rather not do that either and prefer to stick to my file system of having all ebooks in the same main directory together with all other "bookly" things.
