A File Type Association problem

by laswack . Updated 25 years, 5 months ago

Trying to open the file Test.xls by double clicking in Explorer

Double click on an .xls or .xlb file in My Documents directory and receive the following message:

C:\My.xls could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name and verify the location is correct.

If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that
the file has not been renamed, moved or deleted.

Then the next error is:

‘Documents\test.xls could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name and verify the location is correct.

If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that
the file has not been renamed, moved or deleted.

Thenthe file Test.xls opens

I have verified the Folder Options File Types in Explorer for Worksheets and confirmed with another machine that is
working correctly

I have also removed the Open option, re-started the computer and created it new – problem remains !
