    Excel - won't open with double click, must open Excel then browse for document?

    I'm running Office 2007 and since I upgraded, I can't simply click on a populated Excel file (either in outlook or saved on my hard drive) and have it open appropriately.

    If it arrives in Outlook, I have to save the file then open Excel proper, then search for the correct file and open it that way. Even if it's a document that I've previously worked on then saved...I still have to open Excel the find the file through the Open venue.

    Anyone have a workaround? My IT team is swamped and doesn't have the time to help.

    It's becoming a giant PITA.

    Thanks so much in advance.

    1. When you right click a .xls file and choose properties, what program is entered on the "opens with.." line?
    2. When you right click a .xls file and choose open with..., is Excel preselected?
