Where is Excel 2007 on my computer?
I use Excel and Word 2003. My new computer -- new about six months
ago -- came with MS Office 2007 pre-installed and I activated it. However, I never use the 2007 tools -- Word, Excel, etc. -- I find them too confusing and the 2003 versions work for me. A friend sent me a database in xlsx format, or something like that. When I clicked on OPEN, it opened in Excel 2007. However, I can't find an Excel 2007 icon anywhere on my computer. I tried Start-All programs and looked in every folder -- no Excel 2007 icon. Used Windows Explorer and went to c:\Program Files -- nothing found. I can't open the database in Excel 2003. When I go to Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder where I have this database stored and double-click on it, it opens in Excel 2007 -- so the application has to be somewhere, but, WHERE??? Thanks. |

Try typing this in at the DOS (command) prompt:-
C:\ The above is the starting point of your command. At that prompt type in the following:- dir excel.exe /s It should echo back with the directory of EXCEL. Please hit yes if my comments have helped. Thanks. "Kickin' Ass and Takin' Names" wrote: I use Excel and Word 2003.
