Ok, so now we have established that we have not actually established anything with regard to relative links under Vista short of what Microsoft claims in its developer information (which has its fair share of misleading and wrong information). If anybody is as fortunate as to actually have Vista available, it would be nice if he corroborated that relative links under Vista are indeed (as Microsoft appears to claim) relative with regard to the current work directory rather than the directory containing the link. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
