Hi,
I ahve both Excel 200 and 2007 installed on my PC and whilst I'm learning 2007, I want Excel 2000 to be my default program when opening Excel .XLS files. Is there a way to do this please? Thanks, Rob |

Change default to Excel 2000 when 2007 installed
Since 2007 has decided it wants to be the default, de-register 2007 and
re-register 2000 Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar StartRun "C:\yourpathto2007\excel.exe" /unregserver See the space between exe and /unregserver. Then register 2000 StartRun "C:\yourpathto2000\excel.exe" /regserver This process should make Excel 2000 the default for opening files. You may not have to unregister 2007 first but I err on the side of caution<g Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:01:45 -0000, "Rob" wrote: Hi, I ahve both Excel 200 and 2007 installed on my PC and whilst I'm learning 2007, I want Excel 2000 to be my default program when opening Excel .XLS files.
