Thank you SO much!!! It works! I have NO idea how I screwed this all up,
but it now works. I would have NEVER solved this on my own. I can not thank
you enough for your patience, and help! Thank you! - bill

You obviously have to replace the path with the path you are using on your
PC, that path reflected
on the website was just an example. Find your excel. exe and look up the
path and replace this

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" /Regserver


For instance I use Office 2003 and my version would look like


"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Excel.exe" /Regserver

note the quotations and also make sure Excel is not running when you do this


I usually use this first


"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Excel.exe" /Unregserver


then after pressing enter and when the hour glass is closed I immediately do


"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Excel.exe" /Regserver


this can also be important:

start Excel go to toolsoptionsgeneral and clear the checkmark

if there is one in "Ignore other applications",

Where and how did you add "%1"?
What happens when you try to open the Excel files from the desktop?

Always provide your feedback so that others know whether the solution
worked
or problem still persists ...

I was instructed to add "%1" in the update files list. Now I can

open
any excel files on my desktop. I CAN open them from inside excel.
The
%1
will not allow itself to be deleted now! I was just trying to solve
extremely slow opening of files. Please help?
