Hi All,

In Windows 7 , R installation:

R version 3.1.1 Patched (2014-07-14 r66149) -- "Sock it to Me"
Copyright (C) 2014 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

it doesn't recognize shortcuts in path :

>  list.files(path = "cygwin")
character(0)

cygwin is a shortcut,  in properties window  Target shows :
C:\Users\me\cygwin64\home\me
Real path works :

list.files(path = "C:/Users/me/cygwin64/home/me")
   [1] "1010week.sh"            "10week.sh"
"a.R"                    "aa.sh"


I don't think R should recognize that.  Windows wouldn't recognize it
either, if you used "dir cygwin" in a shell, for example.

The "shortcut" which appears as cygwin is actually a file
called cygwin.lnk

readWindowsShellLink {R.utils} reads such files:
> readWindowsShellLink(con="cygwin.lnk")
