since Windows Vista there is an new Win32-API call CreateSymbolicLink to create a symbolic link on the NTFS filesystem.
Does anyone know if there is an way to list all existing symbolic links on the filesystem?

Use the ls -l command to check whether a given file is a symbolic link, and to find the file or directory that symbolic link point to. The first character “l”, indicates that the file is a symlink. The “->” symbol shows the file the symlink points to.
In Command Prompt, run this command: dir /AL /S c:\ A list of all of the symbolic links in the c:\ directory will be returned.
Notethat Windows does not support junctions to directories on remote shares. To list junctions beneath a directory, include the –s switch: junction -s c:\ Ganesh R.
There are three types of file links supported in the NTFS file system: hard links, junctions, and symbolic links.
Window-key -> cmd -> dir /AL /S c:\

You can of course put any other drive label instead of c:\
