launching excel icon results in not opening workbook
 

when I launch excel thru a file in my documents, I get a new workbook, but
when I open the file from within escel it works. Also when I launch by
clicking an attached outlook excel file it does not launch (file not found
message). Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Sometimes one of these works:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
