How to prevent an mdb file from opening from windows explorer?

Hi All,

I'd like to know if there is a way of preventing opening an mdb file from
windows explorer. Simply when I double click it, nothing happens, no dialogs
show up. I want it to open only from my executable.

Thank you,
Rola

Change the extension to something other than MDB, MDE, MDA, etc. Your
executable will need to accept the file name for a command line parameter.
