Dave, thankk you but this did not work either. Yes, I had a space between
excel and /

Another suggestion? I have had this laptop for 22 months and never had this
issue.

I don't know what happened, but the first thing I'd try is to reregister excel.

Close excel
windows start button|Run
excel /unregserver
(and hit enter)
then
excel /regserver
(and hit enter)

When I open My documents, I cannot see the normal Excel logo on the Excel
files. After I click on the file I get a pop up that states Windows cannot
open this file. I get a choice between letting the Internet find an
application or to pick one from a list. When I click pick one from the list
it takes me to Excel as an option, after clicking on that option the file
opens.

What happened to the Excel icons and why am I having to go through these
other steps?
