This works for opening only excel, but does not appear to work when one
double clicks on an existing excel file to open. I still get the Book 1 when
this is done. The /automation modifier does not seem to help.
Our IT people put in a shortcut in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11 directory with the /e /automation switch. The Control
Panel/Folder Options/File Types was modified to open excel using this
shortcut. Now, unless Excel is already open, a double click of an existing
file gives a series of files not found errors. It seems to stumble over the
spaces in the file structure such as between the word DOCUMENTS and the word
AND when looking for a file in C:\Documents and Settings\Excel........ It
says it cannot find the file Documents.xls.
