Excellent wrapper and loved the fact that you are using the mklink.exe rather than any Library API. Hence, I thought of suggesting the enhancement.

  1. I would like this application to come up in the Explorer Context Menu and when clicked it prefills the dialog's Destination file/folder info.

1.a. The Explorer Context Menu registration can be triggered by a button click from within the application, thus making it optional and user specific and avoiding the use of an external setup program.

  1. Also the name of the "Link file" filename should default to the Destination file/folder name, with check for "already existing" in the destination folder before "Create Link" is processed.

2.a This would also need the "Link File" and "Destination File" group boxes to switch locations.

I am a developer (Technical Architect, as my job profile goes) and would like to contribute. I would request your permission to make these enhancements, if you agree with them but do not have the bandwidth to do them.

Respectfully,

Couldn't figure out how to mark it as an "Enhancement Request" and therefore had to submit it as a defect. Please make the change for correct semantics.
