Can't access excel files from worksheet

I can get to my files through documents/excel, but if I just open excel and
then try and find a file by opening the file folder, excel ends up not
responding!!

Update problem I think

Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security

There's a link to Kelly's Korner in that article:

Scroll down to near the bottom of the list--find #383.

On the righthand side is:
HP's Share-to-Web Software - Fix More info: (MS06-015)

It's a link to a .vbs (scripting file) that updates the registry to fix the
problem if it was caused by the HP software.
