Can't find file when it's right there?

When I double-click on a spreadsheet in Windows Explorer,
Excel comes up, and an error message saying it can't find
the file. From excel, I can do a file open, and it opens
the file fine.
It just started doing this all of a sudden today.
Any suggestions?
 
Try this

Tools>Options>General uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

On the Windows Taskbar
Close Excel
Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
