Convert SLK to XLSB

What is SLK file?

The SLK file extension is a symbolic link file utilized by various computer applications as a means to reference other files. A SLK folder is designated as a "shortcut" directory in the hard drive's data structure, that points to another directory or set of files. It is the same as creating a shortcut icon in Windows OS, where users click on the SLK file extension icon to open the targeted directory. This type of file facilitates quick access to files that are frequently used. [ ⏩ ] SLK file extension

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SLK to XLSB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting SLK files to XLSB files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension XLSB, while before this step we had the SLK file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new XLSB file, or not.
