Excel 2007 files saved to a network drive, my local machine, or from a
shortcut, do not open on double click or from the file-open command. Excel
opens to a blank screen - no Excel spreadsheet - just the ribbon on top. Both
..xls and .xlsx files act the same way.
The same thing happens with Access 2007 files. With double click or
file-open command, a blank Access database opens.
Other users on network do not have this experience; files open as they have
with previous Office versions.
Are there settings to change this behavior?

If you have add-ins that open when Excel opens, that can cause the
problem. Perhaps you have add-ins and the other users don't.
