The documentation you refer to, is about soft and hard links in the FS level, a file with the LNK extension is a file that contains metadata for a UNC, if software is parsing it and making assumptions on its contents (or even worse treating it as an actual symlink!) its an issue with that specific application not the OS or TC. Saying that, I don't mind the limitation in TC, I don't really use lnk filesRoman27.02.19 Release Total Commander 9.22 release candidate 1 (32/64)
01.10.18 Fixed: Function to check file system links (junctions, reparse points) for infinite loops didn't handle relative paths created e.g. via "mklink /D MyDirLink ..\MyDir" while in directory "C:\MyDir" (32/64)
07.04.09 Release Total Commander 7.50 Beta 17
03.04.09 Fixed: NTFS file system: Do not follow symlinks which point to themselves or a parent dir of the current dir in "calculate occupied space", copy/move, search, and synchronize dirs (avoids infinite loops)
