Can't open Global.mpt by double-clicking it
This article was previously published under Q169730
When you double-click the Global.mpt file, you receive the following
error message:
The global template file Global.mpt cannot be opened. You
cannot open the currently active global template file.
When you start Microsoft Project, it automatically loads the Global.mpt
file in the background. If you then double-click the Global.mpt file to
open it, you receive the error message described in the "Symptoms" section
of this article.
This behavior is by design. You cannot open the
Global.mpt template file by double-clicking it.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
