Download Inkscape.lnk Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Inkscape.lnk to your appropriate Windows system directory. Inkscape typically does not release Inkscape LNK files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
