Opening Office Files by Double Clicking Taking Long Time (Win XP)
by atomike on Apr.11, 2012, under Computer Software
Some users may experience slow performance when opening office files (Excel, Word, Power Point, etc) by double clicking the file, but opening the file via File->Open is quick.
The solution is to open File Types, select the office extensions experiencing the problem click “Advanced” and select the “Open” action and edit. At the end of the path add “%1″. The path would look like this
“<Installation Folder>\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE” /e “%1″
Notice the quotation marks.
