Users cannot open excel spreadsheets or word documents from explorer by directly clicking on the document icon.
Cause:
This is caused by a corrupt registry entry associated with the file type.
Solution:
Excel:
Delete or rename the "ddeexec" key under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\
And delete or rename the "command" string under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command\
Word:
Delete or rename the "ddeexec" key under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open
And delete or rename the "command" string under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\command
After editing the registry set the default program for file type xls and xlsx by right clicking each file type, going to properties, "open with", c:\program files\office15\root\office15\excel.exe"
