open downloaded .csv file
 

I downloaded a .csv file. I went to downloads to click on it to open it and
got "Windows can't find this file. Make sure you ?spelled it right? and retry.

I oftern get "Windows cant find/open ...." when clicking on the file name.
Sometimes I can recover it from a backup and open it??????????

Any help appreciated

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

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 some of the windows registry to
excel's factory defaults.
