Opening an .xls file

I am not able to open any excel file from my documents or
recent documents windows. The only way I can open them
is through the excel application. This problem does not
occur with any other Office application.
 
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.
