Excel spreadsheets wont open correctly

[tnodine]

When clicking on an excel spreadsheet from the Windows Explorer, Excel opens up, but the document/spreadsheet wont open. The only way to open up a spreadsheet to see it, it to go into File, Open and then click on the xls file inside of excel.

Ive tried resetting the file type in the folder options, ive also competely unistalled office, and reinstalled it. Still happens.

Word, and Powerpoint seem to work fine by double clicking on the files from the windows explorer.

any help, is appreciated...

Thanks,
T.

sounds like the "ignore other applications" in options menu is checked. Possibly in the Personnal.xls.
