Default Weird corruption of hyperlinks

I'm using Excel 2000. Somehow the hyperlinks I've created, which used to
be OK, have now become oddly 'corrupted'. Take an example, an entry for
which the text is fine:
Zakopane2002.mpg

If I use Hyperlink Edit Hyperlink I see this in the filename:
Intro Title Projects\Intro Clips (MPGs)\Zakopane2002.mpg

If I close that and then click the hyperlink, in the usual message about
viruses I see:
Opening C:\Docs\Touch_Pro2 My Documents\MyTP2Misc\Intro Title
Projects\Intro Clips (MPGs)\Zakopane2002.mpg

That string 'Touch_Pro2 My Documents\MyTP2Misc' is what is bizarre. I do
have a folder of that name, but it has no relevance here! I see the same
incorrect filename if I hover over the hyperlink.

So, as it looks wrong anyway, I changed the filename explicitly to the
correct location:
C:\Docs\My Videos\PROJECTS\Intro Title Projects\Intro Clips
(MPGs)\Zakopane2002.mpg

But clicking that gives the same strange result!

Anyone have any idea what might be happening here please?
