It works - the first option.

Thanks.

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.

Maybe one of these will work for you.

A laptop with Excel 2000 installed, has the following problem (if logged
in
by a certain user):
- it is no more possible to open an Excel file by a shortcut ont the
desktop. There appears an error 'not found'
- it is no more possible to open an Excel file by Windows Explorer. Excel
starts, but opens no file at all.
- if Excel is started first, and then choosen for File/Open..., there is
no
problem: the file opens normally.

Also strange: if I log in with my login (not the login of the user of the
laptop), there is no problem at all, all things work normally. So, I
suppose, the problem is in te profile of the user of the laptop.

Can someone help?

Thanks
