Greetings Venkat

Could you please give further details. When you say "click an .xls", do you mean right clicking on the icon? If so the option to open is always there with XP. Since the file is not open, it has already been saved and you will only get the save as option.

Regards

P.S. Thank you for all the precious help you are providing on the forum.
