Re: Problems opening files not stored in My Documents.



I am a new member to this community.
Thank you all for the help. I went to the Kellys -Korner site and
downloaded it and it worked, now Word is working again but my IE address bar
still does not work. It can't even find Google Home Page. Any Ideas?

Glad to have helped. But it isn't my fix and my words of advice were copied
from another poster here. There should be an repaired version of security
update available today. It is supposed to allow the software with known
problems to operate.

Charles - Thanks for the solution to this problem. I struggled yesterday
with
it. Did an uninstall and reinstall hoping that would clear it up. Then
today
I found your advice. Took it and downloaded your fix. Wonders of wonders
it
fixed it and now I am happy! Managed to do a mail merge in Word with an
Excel
file. Also checked to make sure I could File - Open - and browse for any
file
I wanted wherever I put it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Rae at

You can uninstall the security update, but first try the other fixes.
See: You may experience problems in Windows Explorer or in the Windows
shell
after you install security update MS06-015
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918165

If you aren't comfortable with editing the Windows registry yourself,
then
go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to
Item
No. 383 "Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software - Fix". Download and
run
the script to automatically modify your registry as described in
KB918165.
You may need to temporarily disable your antivirus program in order to
run
the script.

A revised version of the update is supposed to be released on Tuesday,
April
25, to fix these problems.

I recently installed a new hard drive due to problems with the old
one.
I
recently bought a new copy of Office 2003 and have noticed one major
problem.
On the old hard drive and with Office '97, when I click "file" then
"open"
I
could browse around on the hard drive to check all my folders for
Word
documents and they are spread out in many folder, just the way I
like
to
sort
things out categorically.
Now, when I try to use the "drop down" that would let me browse
around
looking for folders other than "My Documents" the program freezes
totally.
I
can access the files by going into Windows Explorer and manually
moving
them
into My Documents, but this is what my tech calls a "workaround" and
it's
really annoying.
Anyone else had this problem out there? If so, were you able to
solve
it
and how can I do so, as well?
