Sounds like you don't have the problem that the fix is for.
You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

I think a space is needed after the end of that line before entering "%1"
doesn't it?

doesn't it?

Yes, there should always be a space between commands, switches and
parameters.

I'm not convinced that Ibe U has done the fix correctly.
My Open setting is: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE"
/e
I think Ibe U could try again using something like this: "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" /e "%1" even though it doesn't
have the same switches (modifying the path as necessary), or post back and
show what that full line is so that this group can advise further.

"Ibe U" has not returned, and I suspect "Bill" is the same "Bill" who
posted elsewhere with "other" issues, and then attempted to "tag on" to
this thread.

I did this workaround and now Excel is using Word's "Paste Special" menu. I
can't get it to work properly.

In that case get out the office install disks, uninstall office, restart
the PC and install office. The work around is only to "avoid an office
re-installation.

This is a great thread - thanks to everyone who participated.
I'm running Office 2007 under Windows 7 Beta, and having the same
double-click problem. I checked in Win 7 and in Vista and the file
associations in these OSes has moved to the Control Panel Default Programs
dialogs. However, none of the program-related dialogs has a DDE option or
even a custom command-line option - it seems that all you can do is select
the registered application as-is, or not at all.
Is anyone aware of an equivalent fix that works in Vista/Windows 7? Thanks.

Bump- Having the same issue with Windows 7 Professional, Office Pro Plu
2007. Same story, if I open word/excel and navigate to file, it open
right up. Problem is with double clicking a document - it take
sometimes as much as 15-20 seconds to open. Have tried repair install o
Office, disabling ALL anti-virus/firewall, turning off wireless, loggin
off network- all to no avail. Just switched from XP where I was able t
use the DDE fix, but cannot access that in 7
