There are only shortcuts, stored as name.lnk, that contain : - an icon (or path to the icon) - a path to the target - a comment. So the use of cygwin to simulate a link is : - empty icon (this would be meaningless) - empty path (this is not convenient as it is in C:\blah\blah\filename format) - store the unix path in the comment -> possible because any text can be stored in that place. don't remember how much the string can be long. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
