Default Cannot open file

I have a file afew folders deep in my c: drive named "Used for May
BirthdaysJSmith" without the parenthesis. When I double-click to open it,
Excel says it can't find the file. This happens whether I try to open it from
within Excel or just double-click it to lunch Excel. If I move the same file
to the Desktop, it opens fine with no errors.

Also, If I leave the file where I was getting errors but just remove the
JSmith from the end of the file name, it opens fine from there too.

I have all Office and WinXP updates. Any ideas on what's going on??
