When clicking to open Scratch a dialog box appears!??

On a FEW school computers and a FEW students' notebooks (all with the same profiles as NON-problem computers) when you click on the exe or it's link a DIALOG box opens asking for a file name!

Anyone have any clues? Our techs are SCRATCHing their heads!

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

What is the dialog box asking for? If it is asking for an .IMAGE file, go to the Scratch folder and select Scratch.IMAGE.

They are Win7 machines.

It asks for the image file.
However, students can't "see" C: where the Scratch program is!!

Thanks for the help.

I think they set it so only the admin computer can see files.
