That is the best way to do that. If you use the windows explorer to open ddb's it wil open new protel versions, you can call it a bug in protel or in windows, but it stinks! I normally work on multiple projects and i alwas use the file open command. Only think you have to keep in mind, if you have a large number of projects open, you can go for a cup of coffee when protel starts up...
