I understand at this is probably a very stupid and most likely obvious question. However I am not by any means a Excel pro.

I recently upgraded to 2013 and when trying to open a previously saved .xls file instead of opening the selected file it only takes me to the screen that requires me to browse for the file. On older version I only needed to find the file and open it. Has this changed or am I just missing a setting somewhere? I really appreciate any help with this problem.
