Guest Retired Bill Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Seems like every time I try to open an excel shortcut it starts to go through the install phase with Front Page. If I cancel the installer, the Excel program then loads but without the file. I then do an open folder and find the correct file and then it opens it. What is causing this please? -- Retired Boeing Bill
Guest Gord Dibben Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: Excel keeps losing it's file association One common fix for this is................. Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK. 2) Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe. In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
