Excel 2007: Files do not open
 

I am using Excel 2007.

When I double-click on a file (regardless of whether it is a .xls or .xlsx)
the application starts but the file does not open. I can only open the file
when I select the Office button, choose OPEN and select the file I want to
open.

This is incredibly annoying and something I never encountered before in
previous versions of Excel (just upgraded from 2003).

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Excel 2007: Files do not open
 

Many people are reporting this and I have the problem too. I've found that
if I do not have a workbook opening automatically with Excel 2007
(Personal.xls in my case), I do not have the problem (fwiw). I haven't seen
a solution yet.
