Default XL97 changes filenames upon open

Hi All...........

Just started today...........when I open any .xls file, either C drive or
network, by doubleclicking in WinExplorer, the name of the file is changed
by XL adding a 1 to the end of the filename.............then won't "SAVE"
back to where I got the file from, wants to "SAVE AS" in MyDocuments with the
new filename.............

If I open the same files by rightclick-open in WinExplorer they open
normally.............if I open XL first, the same files open ok also..........

AutoCAD and WORD files still open ok by double-clicking.

This a couple of weeks after MIS upgraded me from Win98 to
WinXP.....although it has worked ok up untill today.......anybody had this
one before?

Vaya con Dios,
Chuck, CABGx3
