  1. Unable to select Excel files in File Manager without them automatically opening


    When I am moving, copying, renaming files in File Explorer, which is set to "double-click to open", I have no difficulties, except with Excel files. Even hovering over the name, let alone a single-click will make them open. How do I stop this? I don't know if the same thing happens with Word files. I have none. But I do not have this problem with other MS app files, e.g., from Paint, Wordpad, Notepad.

    :)

    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:

    Unable to select Excel files in File Manager without them automatically opening [​IMG]

    - this list:

    Unable to select Excel files in File Manager without them automatically opening [​IMG]


    - 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.
