Does the following key exist in the Windows XP and Windows Vista
registries
for an installed Excel?
The example is for Excel 2003 (version 11).

'[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSInfo\Categories\Applications11\Excel11]


Sigh!

The key does not exist for Excel 97.

The following works, but has the extraneous " Application".

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Application.8]

@="Microsoft Excel 97 Application"



I'll now give it a try with Excel 2000, Excel 2002, and Excel 2003/
