WinShortcutter

If you're working in a Windows-dominated environment and your network drives are filled with Windows shortcuts pointing to directories and documents, WinShortcutter might just be the solution you need. This software is designed to follow Windows shortcuts and open the associated document, even if the shortcut points to another network drive. WinShortcutter will also mount the drive before accessing the link, making it a seamless process.

But that's not all - WinShortcutter also allows you to leave an Apple Alias alongside the shortcut, making it easier for Apple users to access the documents as well. And the best part? WinShortcutter works right out of the box. All you need to do is double-click the link and the corresponding document will open.

But if you want to create an alias in addition to following the shortcut, it's a simple process. You just need to activate the option in the system preferences. And if your office network allows AFP mounts, you can easily change the mount setting by accessing the System Preferences for WinShortcutter. In short, if you're looking for a seamless and user-friendly way to access Windows shortcuts in an Apple-dominated environment, WinShortcutter is definitely worth a try.
