Re: shortcut on network

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have made several .mdw files in the past few days while testing and
learning about security, eg.system.mdw, system1.mdw, system2.mdw. How can I
determine which one is associated with the db (and the associated shortcut).
How can I edit the target of my shortcut to the workgroup file. Thanks.
