Open excel and it tries to open all documentsin the document folder

[Margrave]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel

When trying to open a excel file, created and imported from Office on a PC, and each file has been opened on the mac and saved in the new Office 2008 format, xlsx, every document in my document folder tries to open, word doc's, pdf's, jpeg's ect.
If I click on just a word doc it opens just the word document. All of the documents with the exception of excel will open in there respective app.

Also if I click on One excel doc, it opens every excel doc in my document folder.
I would appreciate any help and or suggestions

That's most likely because you've set your Excel Preferences to open all
file in that folder to open on launch. Clear that spec from the Preferences.

Thanks for the reply, looking in Preference I do not see the spec for open all files in this folder. Could you tell me where to find it please?

Excel> Preferences> General, "At startup, open all files in:".
