Try deleting the IE link and then recreating it. If this doesn't work, open an office app (Excel will do nicely), click Help--Detect and Repair and complete the wizard.

If these don't work, let us know.

Hi there,

I am guessing you can open excel files from an running session of excel, from file/open, but not able to select a file from explorer to open.

The files you are selecting from Explorer have an excel file extension, that is they are .xls ?

If you are selecting them, what is opening , if anything ?

Are you getting any message about file associations ?

regards
