Why do i get this error ??

I am trying to run a batch process and i get this error while reading, why is that ??

Code:

 files = dir('C:\Project\Research\Image\Reel_3\*.tif');

 for k = 1:numel(files)

 I = imread(files(k).name);
 .
 .
 .

Error

 Error using imread (line 349)
 File "00585_1u.tif" does not exist.

 Error in FaultImageFind (line 3)
 I = imread(files(k).name)

Those files do exist in the folder and i could get all the info using files(), files().name but i just wonder why it throws an error while reading ? Could be a silly mistake but can't figure it out!!

folder = 'C:\Project\Research\Image\Reel_3';
files = dir(fullfile(folder, '*.tif'));

I = imread(fullfile(folder, files(k).name));
