i installed this programme in 2012.
All the programmes work fine and i have shortcuts on my desktop.
Last week i received some excel files from a friend and i wanted to open them by just double clicking the file in windows explorer.
when i looked at the properties of the shortcut the start in dialogue box is blank.
I have searched all over my hard drive and cannot find the excel.exe file anywhere
Actually all my Office shortcuts have empty start in dialogue boxes.

I have tried showing hidden files in the control panel with no luck.



The programmes Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc all work fine i am just curious where the .exe files are located

Thanks

Dave

Here is where they are supposed to be:
For 64-bit version: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\
For 32-bit version: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\

If you have a Click-To-Run installation:
64-bit version: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 14\ClientX86\Root\Office14\
32-bit version: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office 14\ClientX64\Root\Office14\

Elsewise, launch Excel then open Task Manager and in Processes tab (or Details tab) look in Excel's "Image Path Name" column.

Thats great

I have found them


It was the office 14 folder which confused me


Not quite sure why office 14 as i installed Microsoft Office professional Plus 2010


Thanks for your help

Every Office version has a code number: 14=2010
Glad I was able to help.
