Hi, I have been using the symbolic links feature of cygwin to link from one folder to another in my system. I know that is not a big beneficial use of cygwin, but it is one that adds to the benefit of cygwin. I also use cygwin for other stuff.
I was wondering, does anyone know is something specific is needed to be able to link from one folder to another, for example I am linking from C:\My Documents to D:\Finance in a link file called other. Honestly this works in the file manager part of windows explorer, one desire I have ot this would be to be able to use this in Microsoft Excel by clicking on the "My Documents" link on the left side and then by opening the folder called "other" in the file list. The only problem with this is that by using the command "ln -s "D:\Finance" other" does not actually let the folder show up in excel. Is this possible, or is this maybe a future feature that will be implemented? If it is in the feature, I know I would appreciate the ability.
