Hi chaps.
I'm running Office 2007 on my vista box, and every now and again
(prob
once a day or so) excel refuses to open any Excel files (xls,
xlsx, csv
etc) whether its from a file location or from an attachment.
Each time this happens the
HKCR\Excel.sheet.12\shell\open\command key
contains this string;
w_1^VX!!!!!!!!!MKKSkEXCELFiles>[EMAIL PROTECTED] /e
removing this solves the issue.
This doesn't look like a normal reg entry.
Anyone know what might be causing this ?

Could it be another attack vector on the newly announced Excel
