How about the rest of the dialog at

StartSettingsControl PanelFolder OptionsFile TypesAdvancedOpenEdit.

Below have "use DDE" checked and this in the DDE message box....[open("%1")]

Application should read "Excel"(no quotes)

Looks like that?

I have:-

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" /e %1

When I ran the unregserver, followed by the regserver command, the Windows
Installer came up and did its thing OK.

In StartSettingsControl PanelFolder OptionsFile TypesAdvancedOpenEdit.
I now have:-

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" /e

ie without the <space%1
Under these conditions, doubleclicking an *.xls file name, even without
spaces, does NOT open the file - only Excel, whereas before it did.
If I add <space%1 after the /e, unspaced filenames now open but still not
ones with spaces.
