Default Can not open excel workbooks from the file manager

Hi
not sure this will help but try the following:
goto 'Tools-Options-General " and uncheck "Ignore other
Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

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

1. Close Excel first and
2. On the Windows Taskbar
2.1 StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2.2 StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

Was wondering if anyone had expereinced this

before...After installing an excel addin I built in vb.net
when I double click on an excel workbook in windows
explorer excel opens put instead of opening the workbook
it just loads excel. The screen I am presented with after
excel opens is the same as if you were to open excel and
then close the default workbook, i.e. the the excel
toolbars and a grey background. This happens to all excel
workbooks on my system so it is not just a dodgy
workbook. The interesting thing is that if I open the
excel workbook through the excel file open dialog it works
fine.

Any ideas?

Cheers....Jim
