Opening a DLK File
The DLK file type is primarily associated with Windows / DATEV DMS.
What is a DLK file?
DLK files mostly belong to Windows / DATEV DMS. A DLK file may not be what it seems at first glance. In many cases it is a keyboard layout file that comes in the form of a compiled Windows executable (EXE). When used this way, the file is designed to install or change a keyboard configuration on a Windows system and is often associated with Dietrich's Lexikon.
Alternatively, a DLK file can be a document link file. In this use, the file acts as a pointer within a document management system. This version is commonly used by DATEV and is integrated with their DMS environment. For more details on this application, you can visit the DATEV website.

When working with a DLK file, keep these points in mind:
- Check the file’s properties to see if it’s an executable or a link file.
- If it’s an executable, run it only if you trust the source.
- If it’s a document link, open it using the appropriate DATEV software.
- Be aware that the same file extension can hide very different file formats.
How to open DLK files
You need a suitable software like Windows / DATEV DMS to open a DLK file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your DLK file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DLK file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
