Today, out of the blue, Excel has become unable to open files by
double-clicking. Clicking on an Excel file gives me the following error
message (translated from Swedish):

"Could not find the file xxx.xls (or one of its components). Check the file
path, the file name and that all necessary DLL files are available."

However, from inside Excel the files open correctly.

Why is this, and what can I do to remedy it?
 
I faced this problem . I tried to remove autorun.inf .. but to no avail. Then did System Restore. Though i got the message " There was nothing to restore" the problem was solved. Now able to open files with double click.
