  1. Windows cannot find my pdf documents.


    Today: When I try to open the pdf document I get the following screen message: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\......... .pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." Since I am merely trying to double left click on the archived document or view the pdf online there is nothing to type and hence no chance I am incorrectly typing the name of the pdf. I reinstalled Adobe Reader. I am using Win 10, pc 64 bit.

    :)
