Is there a simple way (like some low level Windows API) to know whether two absolute path of file names point to the same physical file on Windows in C# or C or cmd? Existing question seems to be about Unix and doesn't consider details bellow.
They may be:
(1) Real file
(2) Symbolic link
(3) Whose path contains some folder that is directory symbolic links (like created by mklink /d)
C# is best. If C then will Pinvoke it. If cmd then will Process.Start it.
