I “used” to have a .docx file on my desktop but somehow it has disappeared. I searched my hard drive and search finds the file but when I click to open I get the following message: Windows cannot fine ‘file:///c:/<file name> Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.


Is there anything I can do to try and recover this file?


Thank you in advance for any help,

yeto
