Excel Browser Fix


Some have called saying that they cannot open the Excel spreadsheets in Excel, instead, when you click open, it opens the spreadsheet in a modified Excel inside your browser. Here is the fix:

  • Go to your desktop
  • RIGHT click on start
  • Click on Explore
  • Click on Tools
  • Click on Folder Options
  • Click on File Types
  • Scroll down and click on XLS Microsoft Excel Worksheet (so it is highlighted)
  • Click on Advanced
  • If there is a check mark on Browse in same window, click to remove the check mark
  • Click OK
  • Click Close

You will have to close your browser and start it again for the changes to take effect.
