I am trying to associate Excel.exe with a spreadsheet file used by the State of Wyoming *.wog. When I used the "Open with" command it doesn't show Excel in the Office14 folder even though a "Search" of the C: Drive shows that is exactly its location. When I right click the Excel.exe file that was found from the search I have the option to open the folder. Doing so shows me all the files in the Office14 folder instead of only the fraction that shows up in Explorer.
I have administrator rights and have checked the boxes under "view" to show all folders and files including system folders.
Why are all the *.exe files in Office14 impossible to access using Explorer or the "Open With" Command?
