'mklink' use '/j' replace '/d' to create directory link, so when use 'nvm use xx.xx.xx', it no longer use administrator privileges. It runs fine in windows 10.

This has been requested several times in past issues, discussions, and PR's. Junctions do not work on network drives. As a result, users who have profiles on a storage area network (SAN) cannot access their installations. This would break NVM4W for approximately 43% of users based on our surveys (~4M people).
