R help - Jan 2012 - R.lnk shortcut: Warning message when opening Microsoft Word 2003

Whenever I open Microsoft Word (2003), I get this warning two times---and
then must manually 'OK' it twice before I can proceed in Word (a pain to
do):

  

"The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'R.lnk' refers
to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network
resource is available, and then try again."

  

Perhaps I linked Word with R, somehow, when I recently installed R and Word on
my new computer???

  

Anyhow, since I don't want any Word-R interaction, how can I get rid of
these two annoying warnings? I've already searched my entire hard drive for
'R.lnk' (using X1.com) and found only those R-links I understand and
want.

  

Thanks ahead of time,

This is clearly a Microsoft bug, so you should ask them.
