Convert windows shortcuts to cygwin soft links

2008-01-10 Thread Saurabh Tendulkar 
I must have done something to my cygwin folder, but all my ln'ed soft links on
cygwin have gotten replaced by *.lnk windows files. Is there a utility to
convert windows links to cygwin soft links? I dont want to have to go and do
everything manually (there's at least a hundred files!). Thank you.

Try attrib +R *.lnk from a cmd prompt.
