Default Excel startup option

if i double-click an excel template e.g. test.xlt then the spreadsheet opens
as test1.xls. if i right-click-open the same template then the spreadsheet
opens as test.xlt (then same happens if i use file-open). i am trying to open
a template from another program using the command line "run test.xlt" but
this opens the spreadsheet as test.xlt and i need it to open as test1.xls (ie
like double-clicking). does anyone know how to do this - i assumed it would
have been a startup switch option but cannot find one to do this - what does
double-clicking do that right-click-open does not do?
