    Default Excel help

    Ok, here's something I have never seen before in Excel. On the computer at work Excel spreadsheets show up on the desktop but when you double click the file Excel open but the file doesn't show up. Then you still have to go file, open find the file and then you can view it. Is there a setting in XP or in Excel that anyone knows of to set a 'quick open' option that could of be disabled by mistake at some point?

    I know this may sound dumb but do the files have the excel icon ? If not then go to one of the files and right click it. Go to properties then click OpensWith: and make sure that excel is selected & click apply. That might work i think but i'm not sure.

    The file is opening minimized. It's basically hidden. The file association isn't the issue here, excel opens.

    What version of office is this on? If you tell me, I can find the fix for it. I've dealt with this before.
