FYI Windows also supports symbolic links since Windows Vista. The feature is unknown because it is restricted to the administrator account. Try the "mklink" command in a terminal (cmd.exe) ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link ... To be honest, I never created a symlink on Windows. But since it is supported, you need to know it to write correctly your Windows code. (It's unrelated to "LNK" files.)
