"yourpathto2003\excel.exe" is not to be taken literally.

Your must enter your real path.

i.e. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" /unregserver

Since 2003 has decided it wants to be the default, de-register 2003 and
re-register 2007

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

StartRun *"C:\yourpathto2003\excel.exe" /unregserver

See the space between exe and /unregserver.

Then register 2007

StartRun * "C:\yourpathto2007\excel.exe" /regserver

This process should make Excel 2007 the default for opening files.

You may not have to unregister 2003 first but I err on the side of
caution<g
