Default How do you set Excel 2002 as the default program?

You can make xl2002 the default program associated with .xls files by
reregistering xl2002:

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

reregistering xl2002 should make it look like the last version installed.

(Change that path to the actual path.)

I have both Excel 2002 and Excel 2007 installed on my computer. I would like
to make Excel 2002 the default program whenever I open existing spreadsheets.
Is there any way to do this?
