files do not open with double click
Hi. Here's an excel problem that I am encountering... When I open a folder that contains an excel file and double click on the document file I wish to open, excel opens the "shell" but does not open the document. The only way I can open the document is to start excel then do file/open. So, I can open the document but this is very annoying. This is for every excel document that I have, not just one specific doc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- mgrimz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mgrimz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33507 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=533031 |

ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK. 2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe. In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

This sounds like it might be a problem a lot of users are having because of a
Windows update.
