In windows, startrun

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2003\Office11\Excel.exe" /Regserver


replace what's between the quotations with your path.

This will make Excel 2003 default application for all none 2007 native file
formats

I have installed both excel 2003 and excel 2007 on my laptop (both are
licensed versions). The 2007 I installed as 'complete', but I kept 2003
also. When I open any excel spreadsheet, version *.xls, it is
automatically
opened in excel 2007. Is there any way I can control the default version
to
open *.xls spreadsheets in excel 2003?
I also have access 2003 and access 2007 installed on the same computer,
and
I do not have this problem.
thanks,
Howard
