/o	Opens Excel forcing it to re-register itself in the Window Registry.
/p folderpath	Opens Excel overriding the default local file location user option with a new folder path.
/r filepath	Opens Excel with a specific file in read-only mode. You must include the path and filename afterwards.
/t filepath	Opens Excel using a specified file as a template for the default workbook. excel.exe /t http://mysite.com/MyBook.xlsx
