XLS Files Will Not Open

We have a PC that will open Excel files, but only if you
open Excel and then open the file from Excel. If I go
straight to the file and try to open it, it gives an error
saying "cannot find file...make sure the file and path are
correct...". If I go into Excel and go to File>Open and
open the file from there, the file opens fine. I've check
the Excel assocations and such and everything looks fine.
I've seen this once before and there was a registry
setting that fixed it, but I don't remember what it was.
Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
Phil
