Haha, .dat? Really? Next they'll be telling us the extension for text files is .exe. Come on, people, it's gotta be .lnk!

Wait, isn't .lnk the extension used for Link files in Windows? I'm pretty sure that's the right answer here. Unless, of course, Bill Gates has been secretly messing with the file extensions again...
