how to acess link to directory from apache/Windows

Hi,

I created a link under 'htdocs' to some other directory (not in the
apache installation tree, but I configured apache to follow links). I
want to access this directory by putting the link (e.g.
http://localhost/link_to_dir), however,
the links created in Windows system always has a '.lnk' suffix, so it
does not work, if I add the '.lnk' together, it is recongnized as a
file (and the web browser does not know how to handle it).

Now my question is how to make it work?

Thanks for any help.

I think the symlinks known from for instance ext2 does not exits on any
windows filesystem..
