Double Clicking on Xls/Xlsx Opens Excel But Does Not Show Spreadsheet

S

Excel 2007

If Excel is not open and I double click on an xls or xlsx file Excel starts
but does not display the spreadsheet until I click on the Office button.
Just clicking on the Office button displays the spreadsheet -- I do not have
to select anything.

If Excel is open and I double click on an xls or xlsx file the spreadsheet
is immediately displayed in the running instance of Excel.

Is this normal behavior or do I have some option set wrong?
