Use Start, Search, and locate all *.mdw files on your computer.

You are joined by default to the workgroup you used to secure your database
with.

Use Start, Run, wrkgadm.exe and you'll see what you are joined to by
default. You can then rejoin the standard system.mdw that ships with Access
(usually in the windows system folder - if not try one of the locations you
found above).

All sessions of Access will then use this workgroup (no login). To launch
your secure mdb use a desktop shortcut that specifies a different workgroup
file to use for that session. The target would look like
"path to msaccess.exe" "path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to secure mdw"

Finally, if all you did was run the wizard, there's more to securing a mdb
than that (in fact the wizard in 2000 doesn't do the job). Have a look at
 www.jmwild.com/AccessSecurity.htm for links and information.
