Diff between clicking on a file and using file open w/in program?
 

Why do I have limited capabilities when I double click to open my file in
Excel rather than open the file within the program itself?

What does limited capabilities mean?

If it means the file doesn't always open when you double click on it in windows
explorer...

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.
