1) windows has symlinks since win2000, however they are named Junctions.
   I would recommend visiting sysinternals.com and getting junctions 
   tool (win2k/xp/2k3 -> miscalenous). Hey, it even comes with source!

2) another way is to make a redirect, so you do:
   getFile.php?file=something.zip

   and in your code you do:
   <?
     include "_mylibs.php"
     if (userLoggedIn()) 
         header "Location: ".$_REQUEST["file"];
     else 
         echo "Only Valid People Can Login";
   ?>

3) final way is to pass through the file yourself. Safest way, but 
   potentially more resource hungry than the two above
   in your code you do:


   <?
     include "_mylibs.php"
     if (userLoggedIn())
     {
        header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
        header("Content-Disposition: attachment; ".
               "filename=".$_REQUEST["file"]);         
        readfile($_REQUEST["file"]);
     }
     else
         echo "Only Valid People Can Login";
   ?>
