Apps open twice when dbl click

[Tom]

I am using XP Professional at work with Office 97
(corporate policy) - When I double click on a document in
explorer, it opens twice, unless the application is
already open. i.e. if I click on a word document it will
open, then open again asking me if I want to open the
file as read only because it is already open. However, if
word is already open, and I double click on a file in
explorer, it will open properly once. Any one have any
ideas on how to fix this...

Thanks,
-Tom

Does it open if you just click once? If so, check to see what your
mouse click settings are. I have mine set to open at one click, and if
I double click, I will get two instances.

Nope, That was the first thing I checked... It is only
with office 97 applications and noe others...

It's a little nuts, I thought i could ignore it and it
would go away - now it drives me nuts!
