If you have Windows 2000 or XP Pro, there is a My Documents folder for every
profile. If you are working in the wrong profile, you would not be able to
access the files stored in the My Documents folder of a different profile.
Perhaps that is the issue?

Excuse my ignorance, yes that is what I meant, my Word documents will not
open in My Documents, they are there when I open them in My Computer. This
has happened in the last few days for no apparent reason. There isn't an
error message.

What is this supposed to mean? My Documents is a folder, not an
application
and it is not supposed to open anything. Do you perhaps mean that Word
documents stored in the My Documents folder will not open in Word? If
that
is the case, do you get an error message? If so what does it say? If
this is
not what you mean, please clarify.
