Excel problem
 
Hello there.

I have a small problem involving Excel. Apparently, whenever I open an
Excel file I have saved throguh Windows Explorer, only the Excel
program opens, without loading any of the stuff I had saved on the
file. But if I open Excel, and then open my file throguh there,
everything turns out fine.

So, I wanted to know why can't I open my file throguh Windows Explorer
and how can I fix that.

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.
