[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
In Emacs Dired (in Windows 10) one cannot create a symlink using the shortcut command S, as one expects. The symlink can be created if one uses M-x make-symbolic-link. However, this is not the case if one simply uses S. The command results in an error saying that the file-already exists. Also, instead if offering the user a destination for the symlink, the message in the message buffer identifies the source of the symlink.
