IMO, the symlink==shortcut is a great new thing. I like them. I don't like them only because I wrote them but I like the way to have a better interoperability with native Windows tools (whichever direction). Nobody of the posters here could convince me that the way I have implemented them is bad or wrong. So I don't see a need to change the implementation. Especially I can't understand why most of the folks see problems which currently not has happened. Did you ever see technological progress when people only fearfully try to avoid any problem which could happen (perhaps)? Please, let's test this for a while first. If this mixes up things too much we can discuss this again or revert the change. We have a loss only if we never try it.
