As I said, it is working in windows explorer. The only reason why I was mentioning about the windows links is because they were working in excel and I figured it would be a good example. -- Dan Adams - dan@infochi.com http://www.infochi.com "Christopher Faylor" wrote in message news:20031215201959.GA25326@redhat.com... > On Mon, Dec 15, 2003 at 01:16:16PM -0700, Dan Adams wrote: > >When I try to use a windows shortcut file in cygwin it doesn't seem to work. > > Correct.
