Opening excel filese from windows explorer

Hi folks,

My excel files were not opening from windows explorer and so I did the below:

Tools / Options / General Tab / Uncheck "Ignore Other applications"

However, I still get error messages in excel when opening the filese from
explorer. The file eventually opens after I press 'enter' several times and
get rid of the error message. Any clues as to why?

thank you

alberto
 
Sometimes one of these works:

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.

You tried the first, so try the second.
