Run Cmd.exe and use [mklink](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink) with /J to create a directory junction link your your Julia install directory.

Put the path to the link in VS Code and everywhere else needed (PATH variable and whatnot).

Then, when you install a new Julia version, delete the link and re-create it pointing to the new version.
