title: Reading a file though a link
body: <p>I have a directory where I keep all my .csv files. I have created a shortcut for this directory. Now, I want to read those csv's through this shortcut. </p>
  
  <pre><code>read.csv("&lt;shortcut to directory&gt;/input.csv");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Above command doesn't work. Complains about "Unable to create the connection"</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me in this?</p>
