Cannot open SPSS Statistics files by double clicking

Troubleshooting


Problem

I am using IBM SPSS Statistics. When trying to open either SPSS data, syntax, or output files by double-clicking on them, I receive the following error: "Cannot find the file 'Path to my file' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." This happens even if I have SPSS Statistics launched beforehand. How can I fix this?
