Does it have to do with the permissions? For shortcut-style links, the .lnk file needs the readonly attribute to be treated as a symlink. "attrib +R gs.lnk" ought to fix it. But it would be good to find out why its attributes got munged in the first place. > BTB, I first did a search on cygwin.com for the package containing gs, and > it said that there was such a file in the ghostscript package, not > ghostscript-base. The older 8.50 version of the package had a gs.exe before it was converted to use the alternatives system, which is the hit you are seeing when you do a search. But you have 8.62 installed which contains gs-native.exe.

Either way, it should work to execute 'gs', BTB, I first did a search on cygwin.com for the package containing gs, and it said that there was such a file in the ghostscript package, not ghostscript-base.

The ghostscript packages use the alternatives facility, which means /usr/bin/gs is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/gs which is a symlink to either /usr/bin/gs-x11.exe or /usr/bin/gs-native.exe depending on how you've configured your system. Either way, it should work to execute 'gs', though.
