I think windows will use the last version of excel that was installed as the
default program associated with the extension.

But you can reregister excel so that an earlier version will be the default.

Close excel
windows start button|Run
"C:\yourpathtoexcel2002\excel.exe" /regserver

And then test it.

click on an *.xls file?

Thanks,
