Excel 2010 Not Loading Shortcuts

Here's what I ran into: You have an Excel (either xls or xlsx) file or shortcut on your Desktop and when you double-click on it, you receive a File Not Found Error. File not found? It's right there!

Here's what I found (Microsoft has a link on this that I found after-the-fact: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211494/en-us).

In Excel 2010, Go to File->Options->Advanced-> Scroll down to the General section->Uncheck "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE).
Close Excel and try double clicking on your shortcut or excel file again. Now it should load just fine.
