OP said he had images and databases on a network share, so it's a matter of 
mount points, not (symbolic) links. No idea how to set those up under windows, 
though (and it will depend on how you access the network share).

P.S. If the databases are set up under an external MySQL server (as opposed to 
the internal MySQL server in Digikam), the database access shouldn't be a 
problem: point all PC's to the same server...
