RE: Double click opens Word but not the document

I have the same problem with Word 2003. Very frustrating. Did you manage to
find a resolution? Would appreciate any help.

Word 2007 up to date

Have had this issue for about two months. Word worked properly for almost two years before.

Followed advice from this forum to delete the Data Key via Regedit the following Key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data

The first time I double-click any .doc it works as expected but then fails again.

What is corrupting the "Data" key?

How do I fix it?
