## Using Shaman on Windows
The Shaman storage system uses *symbolic links*. On Windows the creation of symbolic links requires a change in security policy. Follow these steps:
1. Press Win+R, in the popup type `secpol.msc`. Then click OK.
2. In the *Local Security Policy* window that opens, go to *Security Settings* > *Local Policies* > *User Rights Assignment*.
3. In the list, find the *Create Symbolic Links* item.
4. Double-click the item and add yourself (or the user running Flamenco Manager or the whole users group) to the list.
5. Log out & back in again, or reboot the machine.
