I have a PC with Windows XP installed on it. In that Office Xp is also
installed, now the problem that I am facing is that when i try to open an
excel file by doubleclicking it takes about 1-2 mins to open but when I do
the same by opening excel.exe & then open the particular file, it opens up
instantly.

I also tried to find the ".xlb file", but couldn't find any, also tried the
"/regserver " command through Start, Run, but to no avail.

Can anyone help me please with a solution for the same....

Thanks & Regards

Maybe an old DOS command would help you find that *.xlb file.

Start|Run

CMD
(to get to the Command prompt)

cd\
(to get to the root directory)

dir *.xlb /s

The /s says to search subfolders, too.

Make a note of where they are and rename them. Then open excel to test it.
