Why? What happens when you try? Are you getting an error message? We need more information before we'll know how best to help you.
Just nothing happens, the cursor shows the usual hand, but the click does not have any effect.

Do you have Word and PowerPoint installed on the home computer? Are you double-clicking the files in your Dropbox folder to open them? The cursor would be an arrow, not a hand, so I'm confused how you're trying to open them. Can you provide a screenshot?
Thanks for caring. I found the problem. I can only open MS programs or files as administrator. No clue why, but it works. Originally this was not the case...
