Shortcuts don't work very well in windows. They are far from a replacement for symlinks, I don't know the inners of the windows filesystem well. But from what I don know, what you are trying to do cannot be done. Especially considering that it seems like you are trying to symlink (shortcut) to a file on a different machine. -Mark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
