Relax, they weren't converted to PDF.

You can tell by right clicking ANY of them and choosing "Properties". You'll see there that they're STILL .xls or .xlsx files. The "association" has changed and Windows now indicates that they open with Reader, which isn't right.

Where it says "Open With" under the General tab, you can click "Change" and re-select Excel as the default app to open thim.

Very helpful. Do I have to this each time an excel is created. Never had to do this in the past.

By resetting my computer to original settings I lost all apps. How do I fix the problem now. You are right it is driving me nuts.
