Excel will not appear in "Open with" menu Friday, July 17, 2009 at 9:13 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tim (2 messages posted) Recently upgraded to Office 2007. I am trying to right click a text file and use "Open with" to open with excel but cannot. I try selecting "Open With" and the "Choose Program...". From the choose program screen I go to browse because Excel is not listed. From there I select Microsoft Office/Office12/EXCEL.EXE and click Open. It's then as if nothing happened. Excel does not appear and the program will simply open with notepad if I hit open. I've checked the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.txt\OpenWithList and EXCEL.EXE is indeed listed, but it still will not appear in the "Open With" context menu. This previously worked until upgrading. Help, please. Thank you.
