AFAIK, it is not under User Account Settings.  It is under

  Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Local Security Policy->Local 
Policies->User Rights Assignment

Look for "Create symbolic links" policy.

The above will have no effect if your user is in the Administrators
group: those must use the "Run as Administrator" method.

Thanks.
