Locate the msaccess.exe file on your computer. Depending on version you'll
find it in something like the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office
folder. Right click the file, choose Send To, and the Desktop as shortcut.

Go to the desktop and you'll see a shortcut. Right-click it and choose
rename and give it a more meaningful name. Right-click it and choose
properties; on the dialog that opens you'll see a textbox called 'Target'
with the path to msaccess.exe. Click at the end of that and add
"path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to mdw"
