Default .xls files become scrap objects - .shs files

This same question has been asked in the applications error forum
have gone back 2 months and all files in these folders are now scrap
objects???
using office xp (2002) fully updated as of this morning (Jan, 30, 2006).
User claims that these files were normal and could be opened a couple of
weeks ago. my backups show the files in Nov. as being .shs files.
How do you, if it is possible, change them back.
I have tried the following - none of which works:
change the file extension - not easy to do with .shs - didn't work
drag the scrap object onto a new excel doc - didn't work
tried newer AND older versions of excel - didn't work
screamed at it like a lunatic - laughed at me - so punched the screen - hand
now hurts - still doesn't work
HELP
thanks for in advance for any help.
any additional info needed by you - let me know
thanks
sali
