Good morning.
I have this problem: when I double click on Excel file to open it, the
program opens but the Excel file not (I don't see it because it doesn't open).
Instead when I open Excel program and from it I try to go to "File" menu and
choose "Open" and select the Excel file (the same of before) then it opens
correctly.
Why does it happen ?!? I checked the association to the extension ".xls"
into "File types" and it seems to be correct.

Thank you a lot.
Bye...Luca Fabbri

Sometimes one of these works:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
