Open Windows Explorer.

Find an *.XLS file and select it. Right-click and "Open With".

Find Excel in the dialog box and select it. Check the "Always open with" box.

Should be good to go.

I am unable to open an excel file into regular XP Excel 2002. Instead it
opens using Excel Viewer. Also, even if the file which was sent to me was/is
an excel viewer file, How do I get this file open in regular XP Excel 2002
SP3.? Note, I did not installed Excel Viewer. The file opens using Excel
Viewer. Are there anyone out there who have had this experience/problem and
know of a solution? If so, could you Please let me know.

Thanks in Advance
