I tried your solution, but I get a message saying that excel/unregserver not
found. The same for regserver. I did a search for unregserver on my harddrive
and got no results.

I'd try letting excel change the association.

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
