    Clicking on excel file, opens excel, but not file clicked on
    I have excel 2016. When I see an excel file in windows file manager, and click on it,
    It will open excel, but not the file. I then have to do a file open and fined the file
    to open.
    I know this is a real simple one, How do I set up in excel 2016 to where I double click on
    an excel file, it opens up "in excel"

    Thanks James.
