I m using office xp prof. and in excel when I open the file from my desktop
it only opens excel and does not open the file. I deleted the shortcut and
created again but did not work. I started excel in safe mode (excel.com /s)
still the same result. I run the setup office application and did detect
repair / restore my shortcuts still the same.

If I have to open any excel file I have to open excel first and from there I
have to click the file-open button. This way it is working. This is making me
very crazy as I have to open many files from different locations. Please help
to solve this problem.
