When I click on any Excel shortcut, Excel opens but not the file?
 

With several Excel files open at once, my computer re-booted. When it came
back up, none of my Excel shortcuts work. When I click on them, it opens
Excel, but not the file. All other Office components work fine.

Sometimes one of these works:

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.
