Double-click is not opening excel files

[niocordero3-7824]

Dear All,
I am using MS EXCEL 2007 and for an unknown reason, at least for me, I have not been able to open EXCEL files when I double-click on them. I can open them from the FILE->OPEN menu. The message I get is :"There was an problem sending the command to the program". The program opens but the file does not.
Could anyone give me me a hand to address this issue?
Kind regards,

NIOCORDERO

Does the name of the file which will not open have a space in it?

Can you open a file using double-click if the file name does not have a space in it?

No, I cannot.

Right click the Office button (top left), click Excel Options, clock Advanced, scroll down to General and make sure that "Ignore other applications..." is not ticked.
