Apache virtual host on Windows - how do I work with symbolic links?

I am trying to run a virtual host on a WAPP stack. My virtual host has a FollowSymLinks parameter, but on Windows all of these symbolic links (I use shortcuts, and I think it might be a problem) have the .lnk extension. Therefore, if I try to access settings.html , Apache cannot find it, because all I have is settings.html.lnk . Sorry if my question is unclear.

Apache does not understand shortcuts. You need to use the correct symbolic link. In windows, this is done using the mklink command-line tool. See http://ipggi.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/windows-file-junctions-symbolic-links-and-hard-links/ for more details.

For security reasons, Apache does not use character characters by default.

Better than including it in the configuration file using “FollowSymLinks Options”, you should use

This is not the answer you expected, but may help ...
