Cant open excel files by double clicking it
Hi Maged!
Double clicking on files from within Explorer or attached to e-mails should cause Excel to start and to load the file. Often this fails. Excel starts but the file is not loaded. However, with Excel open the file may load with a normal double click and / or it can be opened from within Excel by the normal File Open method. Most likely fix for this problem is from within Excel: Tools Options General Uncheck "Ignore other Applications" OK Close Excel and try again If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel in the Registry using the following routine. Close Excel On the Windows Taskbar Start Run Type the following exactly including the space between exe and / excel.exe /regserver OK. You might have to designate a full path to the excel.exe file You'll have to locate the Excel.exe file using Start Search For Files and Folders Search for the excel.exe file and note down its location Then Start Run Type the regserver command using the path you found. C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver If you have multiple versions of Excel installed you will have a choice of which version to use as the default. -- Regards Norman Harker MVP (Excel) Sydney, Australia Excel and Word Function Lists (Classifications, Syntax and Arguments) available free to good homes.
