> Can this be corrected? Unfortunately, even on systems, that do support symlinks functionality, it is restricted by UAC and not easily unlocked. You'd need an admin shell or a user profile with UAC turned off and permissions correctly configured to exploit native symlinks. And Cygwin does not support creation of directory junctions to the best of my knowledge. :( -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, November 2, 2015 22:48:43 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
