Since I installed IE8, I have had a lot of small glitches. I have been able
to clean them all up. But this one has been completely resistant to all my
attempts to solve it.
Here is the problem. Please READ this and do not jump to conclusions (such
as that the problem is a program association problem -- which it is NOT) that
are not based on this scenario, nor recommend to me doing something that I
have already tried.
- I receive a Word document attached to an e-mail.
- I double click on the document in the ATTACH box of the received e-mail.
- Windows Mail opens a MAIL ATTACHMENT window asking if I want to open the
document.
- Word 2007 opens.
- Word 2007 opens a MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD window that says "This file could
not be found. (C:\...\Filename ...)" where Filename is the name of the .DOC
file.
The same thing happens with PDF files: Adobe Acrobat Reader opens but then
opens an ADOBE READER window that says "There was an error opening this
document. This file cannot be found."
So clearly this is not a program association issue. The right programs are
opening. Somehow it is a temporary storage issue. The attached files are not
being put into the temporary storage folder where they are expected to be.
I checked IE8's temporary storage location and it is pointed to
"C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files" and is
set to 128MB. I deleted all the temporary internet files just to be sure that
was not the problem. One thing that I did NOT try was moving the Temporary
Internet Folder.
In Windows Mail, I looked at all the Options and could not find any that
dealt with the temporary storage space for attachments.
What is the answer to this one?
