Machine running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. MS Office 2010. Problem is once there is a spreadsheet open and minimized and you click on a second spreadsheet shortcut, it won't open. You will get the blue circle so it is trying. You can do it through file/resent files and open it that way. The shortcut is a file that lives on a server. Other identical machines are set up and have shortcuts to the same files. This is the only one that does that.

My advice? Move to Libre Office instead of MS Office.

Well, I solved it myself. The offending file was the third in line of being opened. I had the Admin open her files and minimize the first two, then attempt to open the third one. It as before wouldn't open. And gave up trying after a couple of minutes. I went into the properties of the shortcut and remapped it to excel.exe. This semed to do the trick.
