What does lnk mean?

[ajohnson_46]

I do not know what I did to my computer, but now all the icons have ,lnk behind them. I cannot get into my microsoft office, or any of the programs, because of that .lnk. I need to remove this. I can not even read documents. Pleas help!!!

Those are shortcuts. You either disabled Hide file extensions for known file types in Windows Explorer or deleted the entries for .lnk in the registry.
