hello, on Windows XP I created some directories and files - and some links (.lnk-files) to files and directories and saved them on a ntfs-disk. Now I want to use it in Debian (testing, Gnome) but the links won't work. When working in Nautilus 2.26..3 there just a little window appears telling me, that there is no application installed to view this file. If I want to "open with" WINE, then just nothing is happening (at least nothing I can see :-) ). So: No jump to the right directories, no opening of linked files. :-( Please give me some hints, what to do. Greetings zuhans

Why do you need to use it anyway? Just use Linux's "links" - .desktop files.

The .lnk files from Windows will NOT work with Wine. The programs should show up in your desktop menu system. If that is not happening, please advise. James McKenzie

(Under Windows at least) Windows shortcuts can't seem to take relative paths which make them useless on flash drives, etc. (winemenubuilder might be able to convert lnk files to Desktop files. You should not be copying installed applications between Windows (Links to documents, etc should be fine) and Wine though and the NTFS driver is kind of broken when it comes to Wine) http://wiki.winehq.org/winemenubuilder Gert
