desktop shortcut to file not working
I installed Excel 2007 (part of Office for Student and Home) on my computer, but left my old Office
2003 in tack. Now I can not get any desktop shortcut to frequent files to work in either version of Excel. If I change the file association to the old Excel, I get 8 warning messages about unable to find "document.xls", "myname.xls" and other before the actual file will open. If I change the file association to the new Excel, I get a blank page that I have to click on twice to get the file to open. I can open either version of Excel and then FILE-Open and get the file, but I want the desktop icon to work. Any help before I uninstall Office 2007 and shove it up where the light don't shine? |
desktop shortcut to file not working
I'd try reregistering xl2003:
Close excel (all versions) windows start button|Run type your path to excel2003: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" /unregserver and hit enter then "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" /regserver and hit enter. The last version installed or registered should be the default program. ==== I don't use xl2007 enough to help, but I think I've read posts that complain about the same thing.
