A .wll (Windows Link Library) is an add-in; it's usually called by a .dot
file in Word's Startup folder.

No, I don't know how to open in safe mode, but what kind of file extension
is
*.wll.? Word files usually have either *.doc or *.dot extensions. Are
there
two periods in your file name? That might be confusing the program.

Are the file extensions "missing" or are they just hidden? Go to your
desktop and open a folder. (My Documents will work well.) Then click
on
Tools - Folder Options - View. Make sure that "Hide extensions for
known
file types" is unchecked. That should show them.
