I'd try letting excel change the association.
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.

I tried your solution, but I get a message saying that excel/unregserver not
found. The same for regserver. I did a search for unregserver on my harddrive and got no results. "Dave Peterson" wrote: I'd try letting excel change the association.

Watch your spaces.
There's a space after excel and before the slash (in both commands). EASC wrote: I tried your solution, but I get a message saying that excel/unregserver not found. The same for regserver.

ps. These are flags that you're passing to the excel.exe program--not files to
be processed. EASC wrote: I tried your solution, but I get a message saying that excel/unregserver not found. The same for regserver.
