"is not a valid Win32 application"
the first method that normally works is go to a window explorer (right click
start and select explorer) menu Tools - Folder options - File Types find the excel type like XLS and select Advance - Set to Default "Pedrito" wrote: If I try and open a XLS file from a folder on my desktop by double clicking it an error comes up saying the file name and then "is not a valid Win32 application" If I open Excel and then open the file from within Excel it opens fine.

"is not a valid Win32 application"
I'd try re-registering excel:
Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to excel's factory defaults.
