I cannot double click on Excel 2000 documents and get them to open. I get an
error stating it cannot find file: 'c:\file and path\Excel Spreadsheet
filename.xls'. I have checked all the settings within Excel and cannot find
anything that seems out of the ordinary. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
Office. Word and other files work normally. I only have this problem in
Excel
 
Sometimes one of these works:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
