Excel trys to open a file twice

[Mick]

I am using Win 2000 with excel 97 and it has just started to play up. In
most cases you can double click on an Excel file and for some reason it
wants to open it twice. I have slowed the double click speed down but it is
still the same. The best example is if I double click on a template it will
open two new copies of the same file.

About 2 weeks ago I loaded SP2 but all was OK till yesterday.

Any ideas out there??

Hi Mick,

Try re-registering Excel. Click the Start button on the TaskBar, select
the Run menu, then enter the following text in the Run dialog and click OK:

Excel.exe /regserver

You won't see anything happen, but Excel will rewrite all of its registery
entries and file associations.

Hi Mick,

No idea at all, unfortunately.
