Subject: create a "real" windows shortcut ??
Reply-to: george_planansky AT harvard DOT edu

How to create a windows shortcut to a file,
under cygwin?

E.g., I'd like to create a 
desktop shortcut to a /usr/local/bin/backup.bat file, 
which:

1. when clicked on by the user on the desktop,
will run /usr/local/bin/backup.bat .

2. will open /usr/local/bin/backup.bat in wordpad,
so the user can edit that file.

using ln -s  ..., I can get (1) but not (2) to work.
