clicking shortcut opens excel prog, but not highlighted file-why?
After double clicking on an excel file icon in My Computer, the Excel Program
opens, but the file/worksheet does not - just a blank grey screen. To open the file I have to go through FileOpen in Excel. Is this because of a problem in Excel or the shortcut? |

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. cavanman wrote: After double clicking on an excel file icon in My Computer, the Excel Program opens, but the file/worksheet does not - just a blank grey screen.
