Suddenly I cannot open Word or HTML documents when I go into My Documents through my start menu. I can get into My Docuements, but when I select a document, it highlights, then the timer just hangs there. Eventually the window and/or Task Manager tell me the program is Not Responding. I can open text and Adobe documents, although the latter takes much much longer than usual. Seems to be fine if I go to My Documents by opening up Word first. Puzzling, annoying and a little worrisome - help!
I have a similar problem.
* My Documents cannot be opened from the Start Menu or desktop icon.
* No other special folders are affected (My Computer etc).
* The My Documents folder in the Explorer Places Bar works fine.
* Using TweakUI to change or reset the folder location has no effect.
* "Find Target" in the Start menu link to My Documents' property dialog works fine.
* There is no problem accessing anything in the folder when it has been opened.
I am running Windows XP Tablet PC edition (SP2). From searching these forums, the problem seems to have occurred on other Windows SKUs such as Windows ME. I have tried suggested fixes such as (1) making sure My Computer is the first desktop icon, and (2) re-registering shdocvw, but without any result.
