The only way I can open an Excel file is from within the Application itself.
A blank Excel application screen opens, not the file itself when I click on
it.
From Tools>Options>General> I have tried both *checked* and *uncheck*
"Ignore Other Applications". Neither works.
Using Office XP Pro 2002
 
Right Click on "My Computer", then click "Explore" in the menu. In the
Toolbar, Click on "Tools", then "Folder Options", and finally on the "File
Types" tab. Scroll down until you find the Extension XLS (if you are using
Excel in Office 2000 or 2003) or XLXS (if you are using Excel in Office
2007). Click on the appropriate one to highlight it, and see what appears in
the "Opens with:" part of the dialog box. If it is not Microsoft Office
Excel, hit the "Change..." Command button and pick Excel.

Please let me know how you come out with this.
