[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.4.3 RC2 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO340m1 (Build:302)]" 

Steps to reproduce:
1. go to your own Network item in WIN explorer to the users path (for
   example on my PC "\\USER-PC\Users\user"
2. Into a free place in the right files pane: 
   'Right click -> New -> OpenDocument Spreadsheet'
   A new Document "OpenDocument Tabellendokument (neu).ods" (Gerrman name) will
   be created
3. Double click new Document
   Expected: will be opened in LibO
   Actual: Nothing (right click - open with won't work either)
4. Check "normal" path "C:\Users\user\"
   New document OpenDocument Tabellendokument (neu).ods" is visible
5. double click  new document 
   Will be opened as expected

Further investigations:
It has nothing to do with "New document" same problem with ODF documents
existing in "C:\Users\user\"
It has nothing to do with "user" area,  same problem with ODF documents
existing in "C:\Users\public\"
Works fine from LibO- OS - File dialog

I will check later whether there is a problem with documents network on other PC, but I believe I would have seen that.

Funny thing: that new document has not been created with the correct "new document default" template, but with an other one I had temporarily defined as default for investigations for an other bug. I will file a new bug for that problem.

@Tor:
Might be WIN specific?
Please feel free to reassign (or reset Assignee to default) if it’s not your area or if provided information is not sufficient. Please set Status to ASSIGNED if you accept this Bug.

Since all new unconfirmed bugs start in state UNCONFIRMED now and old unconfirmed bugs were moved to NEEDINFO with a explanatory comment, all bugs promoted above those bug states to NEW and later are automatically confirmed making the CONFIRMED whiteboard status redundant. Thus it will be removed.

This bug shows that it is not a good idea to assign a bug to somebody else. Better to add that person to CC and *ask* if they might have any idea what the problem might be, etc.

I have not done anything for this bug, nor did I have any immediate plans to. However, somebody looking at this bug might have mis-interpreted the "Assigned To" status and thought that "good, somebody is working on it, then I don't need to". Luckily Isamu Mogi did not. Thanks!

So please, don't assign bugs to me in the future;)
