Hiya, I just had to move onto a windows platform at short notice. How do I get MATLAB to read via links on the windows system?

i.e.,

load C:\MRI\carrot_stick\data.mat

works fine but if I make a link (shortcut) in the windows file browser called carrot_stick under the MRI directory, then MATLAB only reads the link as a file. Is there a way to set up links within MATLAB to bypass this behaviour of windows?

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Adam
