Thanks very much for your help. I bookmarked that link and would take a 
look later. I also did fair amount of search on google, looks like it is 
very difficult for Windows to follow Unix symbolic links (for various 
reasons).

I guess at the mean time I'll just stick with the current emacs on vista 
and avoid opening any symbolic links on the remote unix machine.
