Word attempted to open a corrupt file. I clicked cancel. Now every time I
open word (or Outlook), Word tries to recover the file and will only open in
the SAFE mode. How can I get it to stop looking for that file and open
normally?

To make matters worse, i cannot remember the file it was trying to open in
the first place.

PS - I've already tried re-installing Office XP.

Thanks!
