Open LDB File

LDB files are used by Microsoft Access to lock databases to one user at a time so that multiple users can\”t make changes to the same database at the same time. These files are automatically created and deleted with the loading and quitting of Access. LDB files are also used by Rockstar Games to keep level data for the popular games Max Payne and Fall of Max Payne. These can be created and edited using the MaxEd editor.

File extensions are used by Windows operating system to specify what kind of information is stored in the file. Every file in Windows OS needs to have file extension and file extensions are used by Windows to determine which application it should use to open the file. Every application installed on Windows OS places information about which extensions it could open into the Windows registry and Windows uses this information to determine which application it should launch when user double-clicks on the file. If application which can open LDB file is not installed, then Windows will show ‘Windows can’t open LDB file’ message and buttons to either select an application on the computer which can open the file or to search the web for the application which can open LDB file.
