Hi, One nice feature of cygwin was that a link to a folder created by 'ln -s' was seen as shortcut to the folder by WXP. Lately it does not function like that. $ ls -aFl Escr lrwxrwxrwx 1 rmedina Usuarios 53 Dic 9 2009 Escr -> /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rmedina/Escritorio/ $ln -s /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/rmedina/Escritorio test $ ls -aFl test lrwxrwxrwx 1 rmedina Usuarios 53 Abr 5 10:27 test -> /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rmedina/Escritorio/ $ cd Escr $ pwd /home/rmedina/Escr $pwd -P /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rmedina/Escritorio $cd ../ $cd test $pwd /home/rmedina/test $pwd -P /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rmedina/Escritorio Both links work fine for bash, but the old one 'Escr' is seen as a shortcut by WXP, while the new one 'test' is not recogniced as a shortcut by the W-explorer. It has a generic file icon and the properties indicate it is system file. I hope that this nice feature can be recovered. bye R. Medina
