Not only is the speed difference insignificant, but adding ANY kind of links would require changes to the operating sys. Links also have the problem of making the disk directory structure more confusing, and you can accidently squash files you didn't intend to. Say you have a link like "ln rm delete". Then you get a great rm port from unix and copy it to c: Now you just squashed your old version of delete. At least with aliases both files would exist, and you would just have to take out the alias from your startup-file... Links: just say no
