I need to create directory shortcuts as part of as CFM business management application that I am working on. Can this be done with ColdFusion? It doesn't look like CFFILE has an option for this.

Thanks.

A shortcut is just a file. So provided you can track down what the file
format for it is, you can write one with <cffile>.

Although why do you want to create directory shortcuts on your CF server,
though? Seems quite a strange thing to want to do.

No, not natively. You can use <cfexecute>, however.
