editing setup defaults

In Excel 2002, when I open an existing worksheet, it automatically opens a
blank excel template. How do I turn this off?

Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Folder Options>File Types

If using WinXP OS you would scroll down to .XLS then "Advanced">Open>Edit.

In Command line the path should be similar to this....

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE10\EXCEL.EXE" /e

You must have the double quotes and the <space>/e prevents a new blank book from
opening.

Below have "use DDE" checked and this in the DDE message box....[open("%1")]

Application should read "Excel"(no quotes)
