Vista - Can't open Excel 2007 with double click

I repaired and uninstalled then installed Office 2007. I opened Excel up and
search for my Excel Spread Sheet and open it and then save as on my desktop
like I always do. Then when I double click on the Icon I get "Windows can
not find C:\User etc. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try
again. Any excel spreadsheet I have I get the same message when I double
click on it. I check the path and it is correct.

Something seems gone wrong with registry, or some viral attack. I suggest
below options.
1. Right click > Properties, select Open with Application (select
EXCEL.EXE from Programming files\Microsoft Office\...)

Or

2. Remove and re-install MS Office.

news:jAxtm.131663$nL7.20873@newsgroupTry right clicking the spreadsheet file in Windows Explorer, and
send it's shortcut to the desktop. It should create a desktop icon
with the proper "Target" and "Start in" paths.

Its not viral or registry issue. Go to this help URL.

Excel opens without displaying a workbook

Has something to do with "ignore other applications"

The shame of this is that I searched and found dozens having the same issue but garbage replies on what is wrong.
