I have excel 2007 and I use to be able to double click on a file to open it
now when I double click on a file a window pops up stating that windows
cannot find the file and I know the file is there. I've tried it on 10
different files.

thanks in advance for your help

I hope that you might have opened the shortcut file. The shortcut file
consist a tick mark in it. If my assumption is right then try to open the
Original file directly.

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.

In that case StartRun "H:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes
required)OK.

Hi Dgoff,

there is another possibility that you have created shortcut of the file and
then have changed the location of the file, in which case the present
shortcut won't work. you will have to create new shortcut from the new
location.

click yes below, if it works
