Excel File will not open if Excel is no open first

Vyyk Drago

Hi,

I am having problems where double clicking an Excel file
will launch Excel, but it will not open the file itself.
This goes for all my Excel files. Once Excel is open I
can use File->Open to open the file, but I do not know why
it won't open the file in the first place. Obviously
there is nothing wrong with my file associations since it
still launches Excel when I double click the file icons.

I am not running any macros and also do not have any add-
ins installed.


Any advice on how to fix the problem will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
Vyyk

Hi Vyyk,
I am having problems where double clicking an Excel file
will launch Excel, but it will not open the file itself.

Close Excel and do this:

Start, run,

"c:\program files\Microsoft office\office\excel.exe" /regserver

Check the path and use the quotes.

In Excel ,Go to Tools / Options / General / Ignore other applications and
take the tick off. (uncheck it)
Exit EXCEL
Now click xls file from EXPLORER and hopefully it should open file in EXCEL.
