I am unable to open Excel 2003 Standard (XLS) files via shortcut icons. Now,
for the good stuff: The XPS files in question will open when double-clicked
directly, or when accessed from Excel, i.e. File, Open, etc. The shortcut
icons are correctly mapped to the XLS files. Regardless of how the icons are
created, i.e. right-click, New, Shortcut, or right-click on the XLS file and
select Send to. . ., the results are common: “Windows cannot find
‘C:\Documents and Settings\FolderName\FileName.XLS’. Make sure you typed the
name correctly, and then try again. . . .†The OS (Windows XP) is up to date
with all patches and Service Packs, and is free of viruses, worms, and any
other maladies. This involves XLS shortcuts from any location, and XLS files
from any source. All other Office products, Word, Power Point, etc function
as advertised. This issue was recently posted, but with no responce. I am
having no success locating a solution. Any help is appreciated.
