explorer doesn't activate excel files only starts excel progra
This happened to me and I finally found the fix today!!
the problem was that in the options of excel, in the general tab, the "ignore other applications" was ticked on. problem solved by ticking it off.

If you have it unchecked (default behavior) you get the funky SDI/MDIExcel Instance behavior. If you check it, you get the more logical MDI/SDI/Excel Instance behavior but the file type mappings must be fixed as I described above. |
