Vista - Double Click to Open File Error Message

Using Windows Vista Home Premium
I get an error message when trying to open a document by double-clicking it.
It seems to be only midi files associated with Cakewalk Sonar.

The error message is "Windows cannot find 'd:\xxxxx.mid'. Make sure you
typed the name correctly, and then try again."

However, Sonar will open and the file will be loaded with no problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

What is drive D:\?

Drive D: is a second partition on my drive. But the problem exists
regardless of where the file is located.

So the file could be in your user account's Documents folder and you'd
still get Windows first searching for it on the root of Drive D:? Very
odd. I don't have the faintest idea why this would happen, although I'm
sure someone else might. Since the problem only occurs with files
associated with Cakewalk Sonar, I'd start by looking in that program's
preferences. I don't have that program so I can't check, but maybe it
has a default saving location? Maybe Cakewalk Sonar has a knowledge base
that might help. I'm really sorry that I don't have an answer for you.
