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

Definitely not .dat, it has to be .lnk for Windows shortcuts.

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...

Ooh, I know this one! It's .lnk, no doubt about it. I can't believe anyone would even consider .log or .dat - that's just plain crazy.

Definitely .lnk. How else would Windows know it's a shortcut? I mean, come on, .dat? That's just silly.

Hmm, I thought it was .pf, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Guess I should have paid more attention in my Windows administration class.
