I would like to find a way to follow windows shortcuts (*.lnk) files
when using tab completion.

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 <TAB>, 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
