Excel 2007 no longer opens documents on desktop or email attac
exactly why i stated you need to run in an elevated command prompt.
right click the command prompt start menu item and select run as
administrator. then try the commands i stated.
vista uac blocks this by default.

I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit edition. I was not able to follow
your
advice. The commands "/regserver" and "/unregserver" were rejected as
"Invalid switch. I tried a system restore but it repeatedly failed.
Thanks,

open a cmd prompt.
this is where it makes difference. in vista you'll have to open it as an
administrator.
navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
if you're running a 64 bit os,
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12
type in this command: excel.exe /unregserver
then type this command: excel.exe /regserver
if you have issues, let us know which operating system you're running, it
makes a big difference.

When I click on an excel document on my desktop, I get an error message
saying: "windows cannot find [name of document]. Please make sure you
typed
the name correctly, etc." The same thing happens when I try to open an
excel
email attachment. If I open Excel and can locate the file through
"Desktop"
or "Documents," the same document will open. I ran Office diagnostic
which
found nothing wrong. This does not happen with Word 2007 documents on
the
desktop.
