[AccessD] Paradox and Windows stupidity

Hi John

If you're running XP you can add the .db as a new file type in .../FileTypes
- don't remember if it was the same in 98 or not.  It then "should" say it's
already associated with something and ask if you want to unassociate it and
then create the new association.  You "should" then be able to make it be
associated with Paradox again.

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.
