    So when I launch excel and open the documents that way it works fine. However, when I try to right click any file and click "open" I get a "cannot find file" error. I remember having a similar issue with another employee's pc and doing something that involved adding a "%1" to the end of some setting, i just can't remember how I did it.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    attempts to open an excel file from outside excel can occur when Excel is not properly registered.

    Try


    1. Quit Excel and all other programs
    2. Click start, and then click run
    3. Type excel / unregserver, and then click ok
    4. click start and then click run
    5. Type excel / regserver, and then click ok
    6. start excel
    7. quit excel
    This will unregister and then re-register excel
