File Manager in Office 4.2 won't open on XP - help

[Andrew Bryce]

Have Office Std 4.2 still - but have new computer with XP.
Everything seemed to load OK (reloaded a second time),
however cannot open the File Manager on Office. Message
reads: "Cannot execute 'winfile.exe'. Don't know what
this means. Only know I cannot delete files because I
cannot open File Manager - can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation

File Manager was the old Windows Explorer equivalent and was included in
Windows 3.1. You can go out of the office suite and use Windows Explorer to
delete/copy/move files. While some have said that it is compatible with XP
it was designed to use the old 8.3 file naming conventions. It was also
designed to access files using the old FAT formatting method. While I used
File Manager on Win 9X systems I don't think I want to take the chance with
XP systems.
