Check the temp enviroment variable

[lidstone]

Thank you
I had the same issue and this was indeed the solution i.e
Change the key per the previous instructions to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
ntVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Cache
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet File

Much appreciated

I also have WD portable drive and this is 2nd times it happens to me.

[*Emily*] I don't know how to change registry either. My friend helped
me kindda like the way [Susan Ramlet] #4 said and it worked well. Try it
Emily.

Open *Internet Explorer*, *Tool*>*Internet Options*, in
*General*>*Settings*. If the *Current location* is not
*C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files*, click *Move Folder* and
change it to *C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files*. Then click *OK*
and *Apply*

Ginny,

Thanks for your prompt response. I will have to fall on the stake of
Ignorance. I am more of a user - not technical.

Essentially the message reads Error reading from the file:
D:\PFiles\MSOffice\1033\LVREG.DLL .

The program files were corrupted by a virus and the computer had to be
re-imaged. Restoral disks were lost during a move, but came originally from
Dell (a couple of years ago) as part of an AT&T employee concession program.

Thanks

I don't understand what are you talking about...Another error in Word

Hi,
I've been having the same problem, i.e whenever I open Word 2007 I ge
the message "Word could not create the work file, check the tem
environment variable".
I am not very technically-minded unfortunately, so I find the previou
advice on this thread difficult to follow.
How exactly do I check the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders' ?
I am not sure what that means!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

(I use Windows Vista on a Vaio laptop

Hi *alcoss*
I'm using XP but think it's the same with Vista.
Go to *Start* > *Run*, type "regedit" in *Open*. It will open *Registr
Editor* and now you can find the path. Hope it helps ^_^

Thanks ginny_le,
It's finally starting to make sense

Thank you ginny_le. For about three hours I was looking all over the ne
and I found a post by diben805 that led me here. I just bought Outloo
2007 and it was working fine...just the other day and added WD externa
drive...had to change the name from I to H so all my old programs woul
work. Then Outlook started showing the above error message...then
found your post and wa la presto it worked like a breeze, wish I woul
have found your post three hours ago.

Thank you

You're welcome.This trouble drove me mad and I had to spend so much tim
for it. I even removed my Office then reinstalled...Glad that you guy
kicked it out ^_^

I don't know if you guys have same trouble like mine: after workin
with my WD, I tried to plug it out of the PC but there was a msg sai
like It cannot be plug out...bla bla, if I ignore the msg and plug i
out, this trouble comes again :-(. So next time, the msg comes again,
have to restart my PC then plug WD out and everything is fine then

This can be caused by the "Secure Browsing" function from the WDSync
program (supplied with Western Digital external hard disks) and maybe
other ways as well. Check the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders and look for
the Cache, Favourites, History and Cookies entries. The Cache entry is
the specific one that causes this problem - point it back to the
default for your profile. If the value here looks OK then copy it from
the registry key and paste it into the Start/Run box and press Enter
to check if it exists. If it exists an explorer window will open in
the folder - check the permissions and make sure you can create and
delete a file from it.

what if the value that I copied and pasted does not show anything i
start/run
