files open twice
 

hi all -
thanks in advance for any help on this.
i have about 10 computers in our office. all just upgraded to office2007.
it seems now more then half of them have a strange issue.
whenever a user opens an excel file it opens but it opens twice . for some
larger spreadsheets this comsumes system resources and bogs down the system .
once both fully open you can close one but can't seem to find why it opens
the file twice?
any ideas?
thanks again
jon

files open twice
 

If it weren't Excel 2007 I say just re-register Excel, but I'm not sure that
works with the newest version (that=running with the /regserver command line
parameter).

I'd guess if you went to this key with RegEdit:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\Open\command (or 12 if you're
referring to XLSX files)

you'll find a %1 at the end of the Default value. Edit that out if so. If
you see it at the end of the "command" value do that too.
