How can I make an Excel file selected in Explorer open automatica.

J

I upgraded to Office 2007. Now when clicking on an Excel file in Windows
Explorer, Excel opens without showing any workbook. I have to click on "open"
in Excel, then "cancel" in the Explorer window that opens to have the
previously selected file open. From that point on, any Excel file I click on
will open properly. At least til Excel is exited and reopened.

Right-click on the file in Explorer.
Select Open With>Choose Default Program...
Select Excel
Ensure "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is
checked
Select OK

Regards,
Fred
