The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The information in this article applies to the
German version(s) of Windows NT 4.0.
SYMPTOMS
========
When you open a Microsoft Excel workbook by right-clicking the desktop, pointing
to New, and then clicking Microsoft Excel Workbook, an English Excel workbook is
opened instead of a German Excel Workbook.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because Windows NT copies an English Excel.xls file in the
%SystemRoot%\ShellNew folder. The files in this folder are used when you
right-click a document and then click New.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, complete the steps below. You must be a local
administrator to perform these steps:
1. Start Excel from the Start menu. This will open a German Excel workbook.
2. Save this workbook as Excel.xls and close Excel.
3. In Windows Explorer, copy the file to the %SystemRoot%\ShellNew folder.
STATUS
======
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
