Microsoft Word 2003 as a 'System File'

Hello,

I use Microsoft Word 2003 

Recently I went to move a Word document file from one folder to another and received a pop-up stating, "Are you sure you want to move this system file? If you move this file, Windows or another program may no longer work correctly"

I do not remember seeing this before whenever I did a cut and past to move a file.  

At this point I closed all opened Word documents opened a blank Word doc and performed a 'detect and repair'. It continues to open the same pop-up message. Nothing changed.

Should Word be a system file? What could be the issue? 

Thanks 

Shawn 

PS: I just went to open an existing word file and it opened a pop-up asking if I wanted to allow a

winword.exe - I said no for now.

Hi There!

So, this morning I went to open a Word document and again it opened a pop up for me to allow winword.exe. I said no.

then I uninstalled Microsoft Office 2003 from my computer - Cleaned and Defragged - re-installed Microsoft Office 2003 from my disks - installed updates.

It took an incredible 8 hours. Yep, no kidding, 8 hours.

I moved a word document just to see and it still calls it a "system file". It hasn't opened the winword.exe pop-up. Not certain if this is fixed.
