    DB files

    Hi Diarmid,





    A .db file is a database file format for Windows. It stores data information in a series of tables, table files, and field data values. To best address your concern, we need to answer the following questions:



    • Which application are you using to open the .db file?
    • Are you getting an error message when trying to open the file? If yes, kindly provide us a screenshot.


    We will be waiting for your response.

    Hide db files in File Explorer

    Hi Kid6Boy4

    On the same dialog in your Screenshot, scroll down a small bit in that list and tick the box marked 'Hide Protected Operating System Filed (recommended)'

    Then click Apply and OK and those DB files should be hidden . .
