Whenever i try to open a excel file by clicking on the file itself
excel launches, and it opens, but the actual saved file that i clicke
on will not come up. I then get an error that says something along th
lines of it can not find the original file or whatnot. But when I tr
to open it by launching Excel first, and then opening the file fro
excel, i can open any file. I seem to have this problem with ever
excel file I have. Does anyone have any help for me please! I am
newb, so please be gentile! Thank you.

Sometimes one of these works:

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.
