Default can't open file by double clicking on it

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.

In that case StartRun "H:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes
required)OK.

now when I double click on a file a window pops up stating that windows

different files.

thanks in advance for your help
