Regarding Excel-files failing to open with double-clicks:

If they have the windows .xls-extension then that should not even be a
problem on the PC. I send Excel-files forth and back to my work-PC without
any problems at all and had never had the problem you describe.

As I have never had that problem, are you sure your settings are correct,
Jack? You don't seem to me like a person who uses that many spreadsheets, so
this generalization is perhaps a bit off? Did you do an info on one of the
files and change what application that should open all files of this kind?

Cheers,

Kim
