Default Opening Worksheet

When clicking on a xls file, system opens excel but error comes up saying
'Windows cannot find m:\....\....\addition.xls - Please check to see if it's
there...' I know the file is there because I clicked on it and also can open
manually through excel via File/Open.

Any ideas? Extremely annoying. Also, it only happens in excel an not in my
other office products. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.

Maybe one of these will work for you.
