xcel files will not automatically load

[xcel data file does not open automatical]

Does anyone know how to get xcel files to automatically open the xcel program
and load when you double click on them from your explorer folder?
When I do not have xcel open, I can double click on an xcel file and my xcel
program will open but the file will not open within the program. I just get
the xcel program with a blank screen where the file data should be. This
just recently started happening after I have been using this computer for
more than a year.
I tried reinstalling xcell from the CD provided by Dell with the computer
but this did not help. I also tried installing the updates on the Microsoft
web site but still no help.

Try going to Tools>Options...>General and un-checking 'ignore other
applications'
