But I do appreciate the feedback and will take your advice in the

makes sense to me. :-)

I have this problem and it is very very annoying and time -wasting. And
with
some variations.

Main issue:

(1) I double click on a word file (or other file)
(2) Word 2007 opens
(3) Error message over the original folder: "Windows cannot find 'C:
etc
etc'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
(4) Double-click on same item again - it opens with no problem.
Double-click
another item in same folder it opens with no problem. Double click an
item
elsewhere and you get same problem

Possibly related problems:

On trying to open a Word attachments from an Outlook email, they
invariably
don't open first time. Instead they return the message "the system
cannot
find the file specified". On returning to the email and
double-clicking
again, the file opens as normal.

On choosing to SAVE Word attachments rather than open them directly
from
Outlook they save as type "All files" unregistered to any program (with
no
alternative allowed). This leads to a long-winded opening or renaming
process
afterwards.

OK, two things:

1. You are using a web interface (not a forum) that just slurps Usenet
newsgroup posts. Most of the rest of us are using real newsreaders and have
never been to whatever "forum" you think you're using. So we can't "scroll
up". You should consider setting up a newsreader to access these groups
instead since this is very easy. I'll give you links below.

2. Since your question is about Word, you should post in the Word newsgroup.
That way you'll get attention from Word experts.

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn
to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you
can use Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have
it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
