Ilost the ability to open Excel files form Windows
explorer using a double click. The excel program starts,
but file does not open. I can then use Excel's Open and
search through the directories and then open the file.

Anyone have a suggestions? I have tried repair install and
have updated all patches.

I can open all other MS files from WE or My Computer with
a double click.
 
Sometimes one of these works:

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.

An alternative might be to do:
Try Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)
