Hi.
I don't know if this is an excel or a windows explorer problem.
I want to alter the windows explorer "right click - new" menu so I can right
click e.g. an empty area of my desktop, select new and from there create an
old format xls document.
I have altered the registry key:
HKCR\.xls\Excel.Sheet.8\ShellNew\Filename
so I have the option to create a "Microsoft Excel 97-2003 worksheet" in the
right click menu. The problem is that when I double click my newly created
xls file I get an error message from excel telling me: "The file you are
trying to open <filename is in a different format..."

I am running all this on a w2k3 terminal server so I can not use TweakUI
from the Powertoys for Windows XP.

Thanks in advance...
