752712 2009-03-02 09:56:00 Hi everyone, I am having a problem with Microsoft Word and Excel where if you double-click a document it takes ages for the appropriate program to open, and then even longer for the document to load.
If you open Word or Excel and then click file>open and select the document it is instant.
Any ideas how to make it fast again?

Thanks in advance!

If it opens Ok the normal file may be damaged.

Note space between exe & /a exe /a
