Default Excel does not open file

Hi *,

when I click in explorer (XP) on an filename.xls Excel2003 is launched but
does not open the file. When I open the file explicit (through file open)
everything is OK. What's wrong?
Thanks!
Patrick

Patrick

Try the usual fix(es) for this problem.

ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
