You _know_ that I will oppose that change. ;-) I wouldn't dream of it! Nah, my comment was more 'allow usage of proper Symlinks on Vista' at a later point. I would still argue that the default would be what we have today. So, it would have to be an option. But seeing what they've done to the symlinks there, it might be far fetched. We'll worry about that (much) later.. -- .marius
