when I click the file it shows the details, but it wont open.

it is a DOCX word file.

First, change your Windows settings so that filename extensions are displayed.

Then, if what you are seeing has a .bak extension, change that to .docx.

Otherwise, the file may truly be gone. What you may be seeing is a ghost - an index entry referring to a file which is not there.

it does show that the file type is DOCX but it wont open

How is it able to read the contents of the file when I search it?

I hope all is not lost.


thanks,
