Opening excel files

R

Rob

I'm not able to open excel files by double clicking them
in a folder on my desktop. The only way round this is to
use the tedious 'open' function within the Excel program
itself. Not very handy when i need regular access to a
large number of different files.

Does anyone know how to 'reactivate' the function whereby
files can be opened by double clicking?

Thanks

Rob

Two options

try re-register excel,

click start>run and

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.Exe" /regserver
(include the quotes)

adapt to fit your path, other things to look at

Tools>Option>General, make sure "Ignore Other Applications" is not
checked
