I have done that already. &nbsp;The only thing that looks different is <br />
&quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE&quot;<wbr /> /e &quot;%1&quot;<br />
on his computer it says<br />
&quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE&quot;<wbr /> /dde &quot;%1&quot;<br />
<br />
It has /dde instead of just /e. &nbsp;Anybody know what that stands for?

We are trying to open excel in separate windows for a user in excel 2010. &nbsp;I did the registry edit trick for xls and xlsx files and .xls files will open in new windows, which is great. &nbsp;However, when he tries to open .xlsx files, it is not working. &nbsp;It opens a blank excel form. &nbsp;Any ideas?
