When double clicking on a word doc in a folder, word opens but does not open the Document. I then have to browse to the correct file from inside word.

Does anyone know where the setting is to chnge this. I have tried Technet but could not find anything
 
In Windows explorer go to Tools -> Folder Options and the File types tab.
Scroll down to Microsoft Word Document (DOC)
Click Change (or Edit) depending on your version of Windows (advanced on Windows 2000) and find the properties.
Ensure that the "%1" comes after the executable filename and untick DDE.
