Unable to open an excel file on desktop, must open excel first
When I try to open an .xls on my desktop I get an error message that says
"Cannot find the file blah blah blah... ( or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all req'd libraries are available. " However, I can open the file by opening Excel first and then opening the file in Excel. Any ideas ? I have rebooted and re - installed Excel and this did not help. Thanks in advance. Smitt |

Unable to open an excel file on desktop, must open excel first
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.
