Excel Worksheet Opens in Outlook Message
 

I have an Excel worksheet that is being copied to another computer using
xcopy. When you open the copied file, it opens in an Outlook, in a new
message. The file is not marked read-only, and the Ignore other Application
box is not checked. This worksheet opens correctly in Excel on the computer
from which this file is copied.

Mayhaps the other computer's file associations are screwed up.

Does other computer have Excel installed?

Try this first

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 "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
