Excel 2003: doubleclick on file opens Excel window, not file.
Problem: when I doubleclick on an Excel file, the Excel window is opened, but
the file is not. I have to open it by File Open and search for the file every time. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? My version: Excel 2003 Many thanks in advance, Silvy. PS No problem with Word, Access, Powerpoint though... |

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.
