Openning Excel by double clicking on the file name in Explorer
MS Excel opens only as a Excel but not a particular file when double clicked
on the file name in Explorer. It opens only from the File Open window in Excel itself. How can I fix it? |

If your *.xls files auto-open into Excel
then this particular file's extension isnt associated w/Excel in which case going to File Explorer and coping the *.xls settings to this file's extension should resolve your problem. else your *.xls associate settngs have become corrupted and should be something like (for Win98) content type: application/vnd.ms-excel application: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\excel.exe" /e <-- your path may vary use dde checked dde message: [open("%1")] application excel end if "Joseph" wrote in message ...
