Wikipedia defines a hard link as:
a directory entry that associates a name with a file on a file system. (A directory is itself a special kind of file that contains a list of such entries.) The term is used in file systems which allow multiple hard links to be created for the same file.
I am wondering if the concept of hard link is equivalent to the Windows concept of Shortcut.
If hard links are not equivalent to shortcuts, then what's the closest Windows feature to hard links?
