| File Description |
Shortcut or "link" to the original file; similar to an alias on the Macintosh platform; may be created in Windows by right-clicking a file and selecting "Create Shortcut."
If the LNK file is a shortcut to a program (.EXE file), it can contain attributes to define how the program runs; to set the attributes, right-click the shortcut file, select "Properties," and modify the Target Field.
LNK file icons typically include a small curled arrow to indicate that the file points to another location. |
