Kindly clarify. Are you trying to open the .txt from Windows explorer?

If so you need to add the extension to Explorer-Tools-File Types- with
the type as Microsoft Excel Worksheet.

When I open a txt file it invokes the Text Import Wizard for Excel 2003 SP3.
When a co-worker opens a .txt file the Wizard is not automatically invoked.
She can do ctrl open but she would like to have it automatically. What
setting needs to be changed to do so?
