I mistakenly got a file in the word program with an "A" path that is A:\BrthMCPHER04.doc and now I can't delete it. When I try to select it for deletion it starts searching the A drive. Thanks in advance.
It seems you're referring to the recent files list in the File Menu of Word, or the Recent Documents in the Windows Start menu. If Word, it will go away as you open more files (it is just a shortcut). If in the Windows Start menu, just right-click and choose remove or delete.
If it really bothers you in Word, got to the Tools, Options menu and select the General tab. Remove the check from Recently used file list. Exit Word, restart Word, then, if you want future files to be visible, repeat the Tools, Options, General tab and recheck the Recently....
