Default Curious interaction W/Win Exp.

When I double-click on an Excel file from Windows Explorer (without Excel
running), a pop-up informs me that I cannot have two files with the same name
open at the same time. However, if I click OK, the window goes away, the file
opens and everything seems ok. If I then close that file but leave Excel
running, I can then reopen the same file with no pop-up, even if I open it
from Windows Explorer. I can also open any Excel file without the pop-up if I
first start Excel. Now, for any Excel file that I open, no matter how I open
it, when I go to close it (without having changed anything in the file) it
always asks me if I want to save the changes.

Hmmm . . . I cannot figure this one out.

Please help if you can.

Thx, Jim H.
