[AccessD] Paradox and Windows stupidity

Not sure exactly the problem - but couldn't you either start up Paradox and open the file via the program which should make the file type change OR change the extension and do an Open with ... Paradox or whatever to get Access off of it?
 
Hope this makes sense - don't know if it will help.

Folks,

I made the mistake of telling a Paradox .Db file to "open with" Access.
Windows has now decided to place the Access symbol on that and try and open
it with Access all the time.  .Db is NOT an extension listed in the "file
types" dialog box so I can't "undo" what I did.  And I can't link to these
things (any more) because Access says "wrong file type".  Where do I go to
tell Windows that a .Db file is not anything to do with Access?  And please
don't say Explorer/Tools/FolderOptions/File Types because, as I said, DB is
not listed there.
