opening excel 2007 files from desktop

K

Kerri

There is one laptop that has excel files saved on the desktop and when we
double click to open them excel 2007 does open but the file does not appear
in excel until we go to open and select another file and then both files will
open. I have tried to reinstall and that did not help. If we open Excel
first and then double click the file from the desk top the file opens right
away in Excel. I am at a loss on what to do with this machine. Any ideas????

Thousands (it seems) have had this problem. No solution that works for all.
You might just have to open Excel first until (if) MS does a fix.
