  I don't think Windows uses soft links itself either. Soft links are
supported by NTFS, but I don't think Windows itself uses them for anything.
(After all, Windows has to be able to work if installed on a FAT32 partition
too.) Same's probably true for hard links.

  (And no, "shortcuts" are not soft links. They are a completely different
thing.)
