Opening Excel files€¦
Hi all;
In one system when I double-click on a Excel document, the Excel program starts but does not show the document. The only way that I can view the document is through the Open dialog box. On the other hand, I must first select Open from the File menu and then navigate to the document and then open it. I use Excel in Windows XP Professional with SP3 and my Office suite is Office 2003 with SP3. Any idea? Thanks -Reza |

Opening Excel files…
Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer: Tools|Options|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications" (xl2003 menus) or Office Button|Excel Options|Advanced|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications" --- 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.
