opening an excel file differences - time

I just upgraded to microsoft office 2007 from 2003. I also installed
the latest office service pack. Everything seems to be working fine,
just a bit of a learning curve to figure out where things are in the
new version.

Anyway, I don't understand something. If I open an excel file by
double-clicking on the actual excel file (either an original 2003
version, or a 2003-coverted to 2007 in xlsx format), it takes
seemingly forever. It is VERY SLOW.

However, if I open excel, then open the file by doing file/open,
browse for the file, find the file, it opens instantaneously. But if
then close it, and go back and just double-click the file again, it
opens excel, but just sort of "hangs".

What is causing this? Is this normal? I can't believe it is working
this way. BIZARRE.

Thanks for any help in advance.
