I have repaired the Office install, and deleted the "%1" in regedit, but I
still cannot open a spreadsheet by double-clicking it. I have to open Excel,
then click on the "open file" icon, then locate the file.
Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.
 
Hi KeMet,
I have repaired the Office install, and deleted the "%1" in regedit, but I
still cannot open a spreadsheet by double-clicking it. I have to open Excel,
then click on the "open file" icon, then locate the file.
Click to expand...

Try:

Start, run,

"c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" /unregserver

followed by:

Start, run,

"c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" /regserver

Quotes mandatory, may need to change the path.
