#16 Windows - Creates shortcuts, not symlinks

[Chris]

I ran this on Win7, and told it to create symlinks for all found duplicates. However, instead of creating symlinks it created Windows shortcuts. This broke every application relying on the files, and was a time consuming manual process to undo the change.

Expected:
ORIG.FILE and DUPE.FILE
becomes
ORIG.FILE and (symlink)DUPE.FILE which would be transparently handled by Windows, so programs wouldn't know the difference

Actual:
ORIG.FILE and DUPE.FILE
becomes
ORIG.FILE and DUPE.FILE.lnk which essentially deletes DUPE.FILE and breaks any application relying on it.
