+ Windows Shortcuts
+
+ Windows uses shortcut files, also called shell links (.lnk), to reference files or directories elsewhere on the drive. For example, you could put a shortcut on your desktop to a folder or file you use often. If you have a setup, you may want to use such shortcuts in Kubuntu as well as Windows. To do so, first install the package, kdeaddons-kfile-plugins. To configure Windows shortcut support:
+
+
+
+
+
+ Find a Windows shortcut file; right-click it, then click .
+
+
+
+
+
+ Click in the bottom box, then .
+
+
+
+
+
+ Click the tab on top. In the Command box, there will be "lnkforward -map C=/mnt/winc". Replace /mnt/winc with the mount point for a Windows drive letter. For each additional Windows drive letter, add another -map pair.
+
+
+
+
+ Click . This configuration will be saved to your home directory, and the .lnk files should work. However, you will still need software associated with any files they point to.
