Opening Excel files
 
If I open an Excel file directly from Explore, it seems to open twice and I
get a message saying that it already open. Opening files directly through
Excel is not a problem. Any ideas?

I had already made sure the box was unchecked. Any other ideas?

Maybe this FAQ from Debra Dalgleish's site:

will help.
