Excel lock-ups

[CHJ]

I am using MS Office 2000 for small business (SBE SR1). For some reason I am recently encountering a problem where I cannot open any Excel file in say MyDocs without first having to open a new workbook and going through the File/Open option. If I go into MyDocs directly and try to open an Excel file (which does have the Excel icon) it says "path not found ...... ensure library is complete etc.". I have tried repairing, uninstall/reinstall and downloading all updates from Microsoft website but it has made no difference.

Can anyone help please

Thanks.

The `regedit` suggestion has worked a treat. Thank you.
