- Description
- A Symbolic Link File (SLK) is a file type used for creating links between files on a computer or network. It is a type of shortcut that allows users to access another file or folder without having to type out the full path. It is similar to an alias in macOS or a symbolic link in Linux and Unix systems.
- XLK files are Microsoft Excel Backup Files, which are created as backup copies of Excel files (.XLS or .XLSX). They contain a copy of the excel file in its original state, and can help to restore a file if the original is lost, damaged or corrupted.
