The response is maybe obvious, but I didn´t found any resource on
that subject :\

So, how to handle Microsoft links (*.lnk) in Apache on Windows?

Thanks in advance,

If you want to use them like symbolic links in unix, i think the answer is
forget it.

My goal ist o use the ".lnk" (Windows shortcuts files) as UNIX
symbolic links.

But someone tells here that it is noy possible.

Would be great if an apache module handles it...

Your refrased question would be:
How to create Unix like symlinks on Windows?

and is answered via
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link

An enhancement to mpm_winnt would do fine, but
for folders Apache's alias directive does about it now.
