I am unsure how but one of the machines at work can not open an excel
file
by
double clicking on it. The files open fine if you fire up Excel and
then
click OPEN and navigate to the directory and open it from there but if
you
try to open the file excel loads up and then comes up with a message
specifying "The file C:\test.xlsx can not be found." regardless of
location.
None of the other office applications are effected only excel and the
application defaults are all set up properly.

System is a new HP business workstation notebook Vista Business SP1,
and
office version is 2007. All updates are done.
