Excel not taking the minimized bar to open next excel file
 

I am opening up a exel file and working in this file. When i am done i close
out the file i am working on and minimize the Excel program and try to open a
new exel file or even the same one that i just closed and the Excel program
and a completly new Excel program opens egnoring the one that i just
minimuzed. How do i fix it that the minimized program opens the file

Excel not taking the minimized bar to open next excel file
 

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

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.
