Excel files will not open from Windows Explorer

T

Terri Creagh

All of a sudden, I am unable to open Excel files from Windows Explorer. I
have to open Excel and then open files from within Excel. Any ideas as to
why this might happen?
Thanks.

And if that doesn't work, maybe...

Close Excel (both instances) and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
