Default Disable MS Excel 12

Is there any way to disable MS Excel 12 and continue MS Excel 10. My client
does not like the new version and wishes to use 10. I have changed the
associations to no avail. It appears that any reference to an *.xls file
launches MS Excel 12 no matter what you do. You cannot seem to be able to
delete just Excel 12 as it is embeded in Office 2007.

What say ye?

Default Disable MS Excel 12

I don't know about Office 2007 but in earlier versions you could go to
Add/Remove programs in Control Panel and remove Excel from the installation
of Office

But this fix below usually works to disable Excel 12(2007)

Since 2007 has decided it wants to be the default, de-register 2007 and
re-register 2002

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

StartRun "C:\yourpathto2007\excel.exe" /unregserver

See the space between exe and /unregserver.

Then register 2002

StartRun "C:\yourpathto2002\excel.exe" /regserver

This process should make Excel 2002 the default for opening files.
