Windows 10: How do I allow security system to install a excel file with makro functions.

How do I allow security system to install a excel file with makro functions. I have found a free excel dokument https://www.zervant.com/sv/blogg/gratis-bokforingsmall-i-excel/ for Swedish customers with makro function to be able to do my acconting. I need to allow makro according to the info at owners homepage.But my computer Windows 11 prevents me from doing this. How can I bypass this? I tried some things but the file did not work properly. I´m not used to solv this kind of problems by myself so please if someone can help me!

Cannot save an excel file to any location on C:

It sounds like you have Ransomware Protection turned on in Windows Security. You can check to see if it has recently blocked your Excel. See Option One in this tutorial, at Step 5 click 'Recently blocked apps'. If Excel appears there, add it to the list of allowed apps.

Help with Pinning Excel Files in the taskbar

Hello! PianSa

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community

Certainly! Let’s tackle this step by step. To pin an individual Excel file to the taskbar, we’ll create a custom shortcut and then pin it.

Here’s how you can achieve that:

1. Create a Shortcut:
   
   • Right-click on your desktop.
     
   • Select “New” and then choose “Shortcut.”
     
   • In the location field, paste the actual path to your Excel file (replace the dummy file path).
     
   • Click “Next.”
     
   • Type a name for the shortcut and click “Finish.”
     
2. Customize the Shortcut (Optional):
   
   • By default, the shortcut’s icon will be the File Explorer icon. If you’ve already pinned File Explorer to your taskbar, this can be confusing.
     
   • To change the icon, right-click the shortcut and select “Properties.”
     
   • In the properties window, click “Change icon.”
     
   • Choose an icon or download a custom one in .ico format.
     
3. Pin the Shortcut to the Taskbar:
   
   • Drag and drop the shortcut onto the taskbar.
     
   • Now your Excel file is pinned to the taskbar, and you can open it with a single click.
     

Remember that Windows doesn’t directly allow pinning individual files to the taskbar, but creating a custom shortcut provides a workaround. Enjoy quick access to your favorite Excel file!

I have also tried pinning a specific file into the Taskbar, it seems that this doesn't allow you to pin files directly to the Taskbar but only to shortcuts for applications such as Office programs, Browsers, and utilities: notepad and all. However, you can pin the files inside the file explorer as favorites and this will be pinned under Quick Access.

I would suggest to use the feedback hub app for this feature to be added in Windows: Start menu > Search Feedback hub app > I have a suggestion: Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app - Microsoft Support

I hope this helps!

Thank you,

CSV files used to open in Excel....not now!

Hi, you say Excel is installed. Does it run normally?

You can't find Excel in (an unspecified) list of applications. I don't know which list that is for sure.

For example, in the list related to:
- rt click a file. Open With
- this list:



- this list:




- some other list...

If Excel does not appear in the above, I suggest you repair your office installation.

Maybe the above gives you some ideas. Otherwise please post a screenshot of where you think you should see it but don't. Thanks.
