Opening Excel 2007 application

M

When I double click on an excel file (from folder or e-mail attachment, etc),
my Excel 2007 application opens but I get an error "cannot find specified
file". WORD, PPT and other 2007 applications open the application and the
file with no porblem. If I open excel first (or leave the application open),
then double click on the file, the files open fine. Anyone know how to fix
this?

Try going into Windows Explorer, and doing Tools > FolderOptions > FileTypes
then selecting the .xls extention and then associating it with your
Excel.exe

no luck on that. Again, excel opens, but the file does not and the error is
"cannot find the file". Which was the file I double clicked originally.
