%1 appears in "Application used to perform action" when trying to edit a file type

i accidentally deleted the "/e" (no quotes) that comes after the path
and when i restored this a "%1" (no quotes) appears and now whenever i
try to open an excel file, excel tries to open the file wherever it
sees a space in the path name instead of just the file.

is there anyway to get rid of this %1 without reinstalling excel?

Click to expand...

Is this in the Folder Options dialog?

If so, there is a registry edit that corrects that problem. I found it in the
MSKB a few weeks ago when I had the same problem, but I can't locate it now.
