message +"Windows cannot find . . "

[Kris - Idaho]

I am getting the repeated message, for all Word and Excel documents,
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Document and Settings. . .' ." then the file opens.
Message occurs whether or not the application is already open.

Place XP disk in CD ROM....

Start->Run>sfc /scannow

there is a space between sfc and /

Click ok.....

Thanks for the suggestion - it worked but now I have another problem which I
will post in this discussion group in case you aren't checking in tonight.
The only way I can open an Excel file is from within the Application itself.
A blank Excel application screen opens, not the file itself when I click on
it.
From Tools>Options>General> I have tried *uncheck* and *checked* "Ignore
oOther Applications".

I had exactly that problem with Excel (it opens but then Windows 'cannot
find the file' that you clicked: utterly stupid!!) but it has gone away with
no specific action on my part, but possibly after a recent update to Office.
(Office 2003 by the way.)
