I used to be able to open a file from Documents or Recent Documents and other
places and just double click on the file and it opened. Now though, I have to
be in the program that the file is associated with to be able to open it. I
hate this. But I don't know what changed or how to fix it.
So basically if it is an Excel file I have to open Excel first and then open
the program from there.
Can you tell me what I need to change, install, or what I need to do to get
the files to just open from Documents and Recent Documents?
Thanks,
