I would strongly recommend that you DON'T try to open the file straight from
the e-mail. It is when people change a file opened that way that they may
subsequently find that the revised file has disappeared because it has been
stored in a temporary directory and lost. Much safer to save to disk and
then open. [And desktop is not the best place to save.]

When I receive an e-mail with an Excel file attached, I am no longer
able to double click on the file to open it. Depending on the file
type, I can save a copy to the desktop and open it. How can I
correct this issue?

I am using Excel 07 and Windows 7.
