No luck.  I renamed the file, then tested opening Poser.  The same error resulted.  I deleted the new file and also renamed the other two library files in Poser's AppData folder, but still the same error message.

Then I tried opening numerous files in Poser, using the double-click approach, assuming that Windows was keeping a list of most-recently used files somewhere, and I might be able to fill up that list with new entries.  That did not help, and the error was thrown every time one of the files was opened.

Then I searched the registry, using Regedit, for Libraries/Pose.  All I found were two listings belonging to Poser File Editor.

Then I searched for all files modified during the period that this has been happening, and starting a few days before the error.  There were no files listed that were unrecognizable, no data files of any kind that might store a path like this.

Somehow, somewhere, either Poser or Windows must be keeping some kind of record of opened files, to be able to throw this error.  I have no idea where that might be.  My next test will involve replacing standard Poser installation files from backup, but I don't expect that to help.  That old library involves complications with Flash and (Tarim help us all) Internet Explorer, so who the heck knows what could be happening out there.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
