--- Comment #1 from Paul "TBBle" Hampson Paul.Hampson@Pobox.com 2009-01-13 06:01:05 --- To recognise that kind of shortcut (which the Cygwin source refers to as old-style shortcuts, contrasted with enhanced .lnk files) the file needs to have the System attribute set, and not the Directory attribute.
I presume the problem is that Wine doesn't show files as marked with the System attribute, since there's no really useful POSIX equivalent that comes to mind, so it prolly ignores the cygwin request to mark the file with the System attribute.
I haven't looked at the Wine code to verify this.
There's a winsymlinks option in the CYGWIN environment variable or the registry which enables .lnk-based symlinks, but those are only processed if marked Read-Only and non-Directory.
