Hi Gord

1. I ran HelpDetect and Repair again.
2, Selecting File Types /XLS/Advanced/Open/Edit is all as you suggested it
should be.
3. Application used to perform action ends with <space/e WITHOUT %1.
4. The result of double clicking an XLS filename with spaces only opens Excel.
Another double click then opens the file.
5. Removing the spaces opens both Excel and the file.
6. Returning immediately to File Types /XLS/Advanced/Open/Edit I now see a
<space%1 after the space/e. I didn't put it there.
7. Double clicking a filename with spaces now opens Excel and produces the
previously reported Cannot Find error message.
8. If I then run Run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Excel.exe"
/unregserver.
and repeat 7, the result is the same
9. If I then run Run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Excel.exe"
/regserver,
Windows Installer operates successfully.
10. Repeating 7 produces the same result as 4, and 5.
11. However File Types /XLS/Advanced/Open/Edit/ Application used to perform
action ends with <space/e WITHOUT %1.
12. So in conclusion WITHOUT %1, the error messages don't appear, but two
double clicks are required to open a filename with spaces.
With the %1, the error message appears on the first double click of a
filename with spaces.

I just get the feeling something, somewhere else, has changed.
