Help, documents on desktop not loading

[Guest]

Hello,

Hope you can help, I have saved some excel sheets to my desktop but when I
double click to open all i get is the following message "cannot find the file
c:/doc&sett......... make sure path and filename...etc

although if i open excel and go through the file menu these open without a
problem.

I have went through all the usual routes and everything is pointing too the
right place.

Anyone got any ideas please

Thank you in advance

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
