Hi all,

After the excel crashing last time, I can't open excel file directly. That
means I double click the excel xls file, it will only open the excel
application but no any excel sheet will open even a blank new excel form. I
need to open the excel application first, and then click open file to select
excel file. I must use this way now. How can I fix this problem?

Thanks a lot.
 
First try:

Tools > Options > General > clear the ignore other applications checkbox.
 
Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.

Maybe one of these will work for you.
 
It's work, thanks a lot.
