Does there exist a freeware command line tool for creaing hardlinks on NTFS
volumes, that runs under Windows 2000/XP? And, if so, what?

TIA

In XP (not sure about 2000) there's the fsutil command. More info here.

Or you might try "ln" which is one of the GNU utilities ported to
Windows. You'll find them at

Windows XP users already have "fsutil". For Windows NT/XP/2000:
