MD F:\Folder
:: Determine the GUID of the D: volume
mountvol
:: Create a volume mount point from F:\Folder on the D: volume
mountvol F:\Folder \\?\Volume{f21ebfa2-6713-11d9-a9ad-806d6172696f}:: Set the dirty bit on the mount point
fsutil dirty set F:\Folder
:: You will receive Error: Access is denied.

fsutil dirty set <Drive_Letter:>
