lnk is often confused with ink, but it's really LNK, which is short for link. Windows uses LNK files to create shortcuts -- small files that contain a command line that can be duplicated and placed anywhere for quick access. The command line executes a program and passes optional arguments to the program, such as a file to be loaded or a switch that alters the programs behaviour. Without shortcuts, users would be forced to type out the command in full every time. the Windows Start menu is simply a folder filled with shortcuts.
URL files are also a type of shortcut, but rather than store a command line they store a universal resource locator, such as a website address. These are handled slightly differently in that they automatically execute the default internet browser (the user agent) and pass the web address as an argument.

Why can't ink files open on computers besides mine?
I believe what you are referring to is a .lnk file, not a .ink. A .lnk file is a shortcut to a program or file, not the file itself. If a file or program of the same name doesn't exist on another computer, the .lnk file can't do anything.
How can I change lnk files back to exe format?
I'm not sure what you mean... .lnk is type of file which directs to a .exe file. If you do not have .exe file still have .lnk file you can't start the program. If you have .exe file but you do not have .lnk file pointing to it you still can run the program but you will have to locate the .exe file manually.

Why can't I open .lnk files?
They are not designed to be opened themselves, but to link you to another file which can be opened. If the link cannot find the file it is linking to, you will get an error. It is not the lnk file that is at fault, but that the other file cannot be found. The lnk file has no real value in itself, but is just used to find other files.
