Error opening file

[Kevin Ellison]

Hello,

I am using Microsoft Word 2007 (Home & Student Version) and whenever I open
a saved file on my computer (directly by clicking on the document to open) I
receive the following error message -

"Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Kevin\Desktop\Shopping List.docx'. Make sure
you typed the name correctly, and then try again".

If I click on the OK button and leave Word open and return to my desktop and
click on the file again -- the file will open. If I close out Microsoft Word
and then click on the file again, I receive the above error message again.

I file could be anywhere on my computer (My Documents Folder, Desktop, etc
.... ) and the same message appears. Will only open the document if I have
Microsoft Word running in the background.

Any suggestions on how to fix? I have auto updates set and all the latest
updates are applied.

Anyone else having the same issue?

Any help would be appreciated.

Several possible solutions to this, but maybe it is just a simple
registration error. From Start, Run (Winkey+R) type in

winword /r

and press enter. Does that resolve the problem?
