Default Creates new file when opening in windows explorer

The only issue is that this happens with all .xls files that she tries to
open as well as happening with other profiles.

It's because this particular file is a template file *.xlt and not a *.xls
file. If you save it as xls and open that file from now on it won't happen.
I also assume it has some links to other files plus a recorded macro

I have a user that has a wierd problem. When she selects an excel file in
Windows Explorer and opens it, it creates a duplicate file with number 1
at
the end. For example, if the file is called aplogs.xls, when you open it,
the
file name is aplogs1. The user is getting macro questions as well as
asking
if she wants to update. The .xls extension also goes away in the title
bar.
Any thoughts?
