Excel keeps losing it's file association

[Guest]

Seems like every time I try to open an excel shortcut it starts to go through
the install phase with Front Page. If I cancel the installer, the Excel
program then loads but without the file. I then do an open folder and find
the correct file and then it opens it. What is causing this please?

One common fix for this is.................

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2) 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.
