Default Can't open any excel file in windows explorer

Normally, we can open a Excel file in the windows explorer with double
clicks, but I can't. It only opens Excel tool bars without the file. So I use
open file ircon, then file is opened. Please tell me why or there is some
matter in my excel program. Thanks a lot!

Hi!

Try the following steps:
1. Exit Excel
2. From Start, Run, enter the command "excel.exe /unregserver" (without
quotationmarks)
3. From Start, Run, enter the command "excel.exe /regserver" (without
quotationmarks)

Can you open the file now?

Best regards

You might have Ignore Other Applications set under Tools, Options, General.
