Default Why will a file not open when I click on an excel file name?

I have to open excel now and find the file to open before I can see it. It
has not been doing this previously. Before, I could just click on the file
name and open the file I wanted. What has happened? Where can I change this?

Try

ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

Close Excel first and
On the Windows Taskbar

1 ) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK
