Default Can't start Excel based on File Type

When I start Excel I can open any of my .xls files, everything works fine.
However, when I simply double click on an .xls file, Excel starts up, but
won't open my file. For example, if I double click "A B C.xls" I will get
four error messages: "Unable to open A", "Unable to open B", "Unable to open
C", and even "Unable to open .xls"! I have checked file types under folder
options, it seems to be set up properly. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Stuart
