Microsoft Help Forums: Opening Office ( Word, Excel, etc) Documents are very slow by double-clicking - Microsoft Help Forums

Once you make the change via the explorer shell, you have to edit the
registry setting to revert it back to the way it was. This is per a MS
article, not just me.

This is the key name you need to go to to remove the "%1"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\shell\New\command

By the way, if you didn't use the quotes in the command line you'll get
"file not found errors."
