Je suis using [DVC](https://dvc.org/) for a project that I'm fonctionnel on, for tracking and running a data processing pipeline that needs to run on Windows. DVC uses symbolic links as a way of connecting fichiers' original paths vers le copies dans le cache.
Cependant, on Windows 11, dans le Explorer window these symbolic links appear not as regular fichiers but à la place as a weird fichier of tapez ".symlink" even though the filename ne en fait contain this extension:
See ici:
.
This prevents me from being able to open these fichiers normally.
As a result, thumbnails ne show up for images, and when clicked on, the fichier ne en fait open avec the right application for the real extension, but an application picking window for the .symlink extension shows up à la place.
Comment puis-je make Windows treat these symbolic links as regular fichiers, au moins for interaction through Windows Explorer (e.g. clicking sur lem)?
Thanks in advance for the help.

This problème exists depuis Windows 7, when
[Windows 7 Update KB3039066](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46256)
broke symbolic links in Windows Explorer and all programmes that use
the services provided by the Windows shell.
The problème was asked on our site dans le posts :
- [Working symlink isn't accessable through explorer Windows 8](https://superuser.com/questions/533316/working-symlink-isnt-accessable-through-explorer-windows-8)
from 2013
- [Windows symlink to executable - does not open by double click](https://superuser.com/questions/893239/windows-symlink-to-executable-does-not-open-by-double-click)
from 2015.
In both posts the seulement workaround that was offered
was to replace the symlinks by another type
(hard link, répertoire symbolic link or Directory Junction).
If vous pouvez recreate the symlinks créé by DVC using a stronger type,
as above, this sera a solution.
Otherwise, there might not exist a simple solution that ne pass
through the Open Avec context-menu.
Some third-party
[File Explorer Alternatives](https://alternativeto.net/software/windows-explorer/)
might treat these fichiers differently, but Je ne peux pas recommend any dum.
