Default revert from office2007

You most likely have to reset your file association from 2007 to 97.

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe for Office 97

In that case StartRun "C:\your path to\office9\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes
required)OK.

I installed and tried office 2007. After not liking it, I uninstalled and
reverted back to Office97.

However, now I cannot open up my file from shortcuts or explorer. It says
file not found.

I can only open from the Alt-File Menu which holds 9 recent files. Efforts
to "save as" successfully creates new files but cannot be opened from
explorer.

Please help.
