i have a PC installed Windows 98 and Office 2000. Each
time I open an excel file with directly clicking the
file, it prompts the error of 'incorrected file or path,
please check the path or file name and make sure all
necessary programs can be used'. But there is no problem
if the Excel program is opend first and then use the
excel program to open the excel file.
Please suggest how can i fix the problem.

Your file system could be corrupted or the excel files
could be corrupted or damaged. There is a software
download that will fix corrupted files if that is your
case, but not the system if that is the problem. It is
freeto try. http://www.cimaware.com

Do NOT run any file corruption recovery utilities unless
you have tried this first!

From the menu, select Tools/Options, click the General
tab, uncheck Ignore Other Applications.

If that doesn't do it, then from your toolbar click
Start/Run and enter
C:\Program Files\Office\Excel.exe /regserver

Change the path to match yours
