Never run into it, but it was an interesting problem, so I've knocked up a quick tool to help.

1.  Download http://www,lexacorp.com.pg/soft/FindOpener.zip
2.  Extract the 18KB executable and place it on the desktop 
3.  Drag an MDB, DOC,PDF or whatever onto the executable.

It will display a message box showing the \SHELL\OPEN\command in the Registry which 
will tell you exactly where to find Access.Exe or whatever is used to open the particular file 
type.

Enjoy,
Stuart
