How do I get spreadsheets to open from my docs again
I used to be able to open worksheets direct from a shortcut or through My
Docs but now I have to open Excel program to open a worksheet. Can someone tell me how to get the option back as I have tried upgrading and reinstalling Excel but that didn't work. I have Small Business Edition 2003 |

How do I get spreadsheets to open from my docs again
Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer: Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it) --- or --- Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's factory defaults.

appreciated.
