xlsm.zip files do not show as folders in Explorer
I am trying to create an add-in using Excel 2007. When I renamed the xlsm
extension to xlsm.zip, I accidently tried to open the xlsm.zip file with Notepad instead of double-clicking on the xlsm.zip folder. Now every Excel xlsm file that I create and then add a .zip extension to appears as a Notepad file instead of a Windows folder. As a result, I can't open an xlsm.zip files. Would appreciate your help. -- Steph |

Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools Folder Options. Click on the
"File Types" tab and change the file association for .zip files. --JP On Oct 16, 3:24*pm, Steph wrote: I am trying to create an add-in using Excel 2007. *When I renamed the xlsm extension to xlsm.zip, I accidently tried to open the xlsm.zip file with Notepad instead of double-clicking on the xlsm.zip folder. *Now every Excel xlsm file that I create and then add a .zip extension to appears as a Notepad file instead of a Windows folder. *As a result, I can't open an xlsm.zip files. *Would appreciate your help. * -- Steph |

Hello,
I recently had this same problem (I'm running Vista). The site below has a registry fix pertaining to .zip files that helped me. After downloading and installing the fix, you will need to restart your computer. http://www.winhelponline.com/article...ows-Vista.html -- John Mansfield http://www.cellmatrix.net "Steph" wrote: I am trying to create an add-in using Excel 2007.
