Excel files won't open from Windows Explorer
Try the usual fix(es) for this problem.
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.

I have a user with a new laptop and a new installation of Office Pro 2003.
When she double clicks an excel file from a windows explorer file view, excel
opens, but the document does not load. If she opens excel first, and chooses
file - open, document open fine.
I have reinstalled office and there are no errors in the event logs. This
only happens with excel. Word, etc, work fine.
