Excel 2007 Shortcut do not work
Recently upgraded to Excel 2007 via Office Enterprise 2007. Converted one
spreadsheet to the .xlsm format and created a desktop shortcut to replace the old one. The spreadsheet is password protected. When I double-click the shortcut, Excel will open but the spreadsheet does not. If I then try to open from within Excel, the password prompt comes up and then access to the spreadsheet. How do I get the shortcut to work properly? |

Excel 2007 Shortcut do not work
This seems to be a common problem (but it doesn't happen all the time).
Right now there is no fix--just workarounds like you found--or opening excel, then using ctrl-o to open the file. JHL wrote: Recently upgraded to Excel 2007 via Office Enterprise 2007.

Office button, Excel Options, Advanced, General section
uncheck "Ignore other apps..." -- TedMi "JHL" wrote: Recently upgraded to Excel 2007 via Office Enterprise 2007.

Thanks, but that option is already unchecked.

Excel 2007 Shortcut do not work
hi, !
Recently upgraded to Excel 2007 via Office Enterprise 2007. Converted one spreadsheet to the .xlsm format and created a desktop shortcut to replace the old one. The spreadsheet is password protected. When I double-click the shortcut, Excel will open but the spreadsheet does not. If I then try to open from within Excel, the password prompt comes up and then access to the spreadsheet. How do I get the shortcut to work properly? Jim Rech posted this workaround (windows registry modification)... HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Security - modify/add a DWord key named: ExcelBypassEncryptedMacroScan set its value to 1 (one) hth, hector. |

Excel 2007 Shortcut do not work
Does this registry edit work? (has it worked for anyone?) I'm hesitant to
try it w/o confirmation. I have a similar problem as described above, except my spreadsheet is not password protected. Also, when either left for a long time (30-40 seconds or more) the sheet does eventually open. This is a tiny spreadsheet, not something that takes a long time to load. Also, if I click minimize in excel right after excel loads, the program minimizes, and immediately pops back up with my file loaded. It would seem to me that something is slightly bent. I'm running XP pro, SP3, and recently installed Office 2007 Pro (previously had 2003, uninstalled it and did a fresh install of 2007) (and yes, Office is fully updated with SP2, and anything else from Microsoft Updates) Any thoughts would be appreciated.
