Excel Icon for files

J

James McGuire

I am running Windows 2000 professional on my PC and connected to a LAN. I
am running the MS office 2000 Professional suite. When, I save a worksheet
from Exel 2000 it does not save the file with the common Excel file
Icon(green X). The file is displayed with the default Windows Flag Icon.
When I double click on this default Windows Flag Icon the system tries to
open the file with Word not Excel.

Word and PowerPoint both save with their common Icons. The Excel program
saved fine a couple of weeks ago. I have not installed any new software and
our server takes care of Virus protection through Trend Micro Officescan
every day.

What is my problem and how do I correct it?
