I've written a program that does just this. It's a fully scriptable and can set icons. I'm hoping to get it included in cygwin sometime, but I'm waiting until the new setup.exe comes out to bother developers with it. In the meantime, you can get it at: http://ns1.iocc.com/~joshua/mklink-0.1.tar.bz2 The archive is around 10K, source, (stripped) binary, and some examples included. I'd also love some feedback on possible improvements--or from anyone on Win9x since I've got a setup like Randall's (Win2k, NTFS, etc.) The MS docs say it the calls should work on any windows, but you know... I've not had any weird permission problems, though figuring out whether folders on the Desktop exist only for the current user or for all users can be tricky. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
