The package "w32-symlinks" allows emacs to follow windows shortcuts. Does any one know how to tie this into the tab completion so that links will be followed? The exact behavior that I would like is that when I type C-x C-f to open a file, then type in the name of a shortcut and press , I would be taken to the linked directory and be able to choose a file. Basically to mimic symbolic links on POSIX. Any link files that I do encounter will have been created by cygwin. I am using a windows installation of emacs 23.1. Thanks in advance for any help, Novimir Pablant
