File extension .XNK
| Full Name | Developer | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Exchange Shortcut Format | N/A | Misc Files |
The XNK file extension is associated with Microsoft Windows and is part of the Exchange technology for calendar sharing. These files are essentially shortcuts that can be used to quickly access joint calendars that are stored in an Exchange Server and are needed for users to set up permissions to view the calendar of another user. The XNK files are not executable files, meaning they do not contain the full data but rather a link to the shared data contained in an Exchange Server.
They represent a significant breakthrough in enterprise collaboration, as these shared links can be used to quickly access information from multiple computers while maintaining the security provided by Exchange Servers. For example, if the Exchange Server has several calendars, say for example from different departments or different locations, XNK links can be used to create multiple forms of access. The data can be quickly shared between employees without having to create multiple copies.
Similar File Extensions
In addition to .XNK, other similar file extensions are .INK, .SYN, and .LNK. All of these file extensions can create shortcuts and links to other locations or resources and provide similar advantages when it comes to sharing information on an enterprise level.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .XNK) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .XNK extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .XNK file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .XNK extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .XNK extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .XNK file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .XNK file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .XNK file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .XNK file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .XNK file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
