Since defragging my hard disk I have been experiencing problems loading my
Excel files. If I load a file by double clicking on it from within my My
Documents folder Excel starts and loads an empty page - the file association
is OK. If I start Excel and then go to File/Open the Excel file loads
perfectly. Does anyone have an idea as to what is happening?
