revert from office2007
 

I installed and tried office 2007. After not liking it, I uninstalled and
reverted back to Office97.

However, now I cannot open up my file from shortcuts or explorer. It says
file not found.

I can only open from the Alt-File Menu which holds 9 recent files. Efforts
to "save as" successfully creates new files but cannot be opened from
explorer.

Please help.

You most likely have to reset your file association from 2007 to 97.

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 for Office 97

In that case StartRun "C:\your path to\office9\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes
required)OK.
