I have 4 PC’s in my office all with Flash on them.  
Now when I go to click an SWF it says:  
Windows cannot find Documents.exe.

This program is needed for opening files of type ‘Flash Movie’

Location of Documents.exe:

Has anyone had this before? It’s happening on 2 of the machines. And coincidently I have just upgraded the plug-in to Flash 7 but all machines have the Flash 6 software on them [All legit’ too].

as fas as i think u need to configure the extention setup,

press shift key and rightclick on any swf file \>\> choose ‘open with’ option and even if u have swf player in the list of softwares it displays, click on browse button and go to macromedia directory and flash player, i think path should be  
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX\Players\SAFlashPlayer

make sure u checkmark on “always open” option.

Hope it works…

usually one face this problem when your flash player gets corrupted or flash player version clashes, like i have flash 5 and flash mx installed on my system.
