Answer / rj
in case of shortcut u cant make any change in it directly.U need to make the change in the original object .while in case of copy the change will get reflected in the original object if u make any change in the copied object.

Nikhil....you have said it completely wrong. If we change in Shortcut, it will reflect in the source. Whereas in case of copying, the source will not change if we change something in the copied object.
Copy can be done between 2 Normal folders objects or between a Shared and a Normal folder.
Shortcut's can be done from a Shared folder to Normal folder only.

Answer / nikhil
Shortcut is used the common folder used to import any source,target and mapping physically, and that object we can use in our mapping locally, when you made any changes it will not reflect in the common folder so you save your source from being changed.
Whereas
In case of copy you actually copy the physical object so if you made any changes in any source,target and mapping it will be reflected in all the mapping whereever it is being used.
