Cannot find the file ‘C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Filename.txt (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.’

Thank you Windows. This has annoyed me for ages with .txt files at home, only today it appeared on my work PC.

Damnit.  
What did I do to it?

Does a file named “Filename.txt” exist where it is looking?  
When does it give this message?
