I found this info online but can't make it work. Is the author mistaken?

Last post we learned how to make a symlink in windows vista. However with default option you will be able to see only one directory or folder data in the symlink created. Here we will see how we can make data of two directory available in one symlink.

Our Target
Take Directories d:\Blogdata and d:\Images . Now you want to see data of both the directory into a new place say d:\Blog. Now we will use MKLINK /J option to do it. /J stands for directory junction.

Steps to make a junction directory / symlink
MKLINK /D c:\blog d:\BlogData
The above steps create a hard link and all data under D:\blogdata directory can be seen in c:\blog.
Now type MKLINK /J c:\blog d:\images
Now your d:\images will be added to the symlink you have already create.
Now when you browse c:\blog you will be able to see both directories data.
