How do I stop IE opening excel workbooks ?
 

Hi,
Ever since we upgraded to Office 2003 whenever I open up a web based Excel
file (as opposed to saving it first) it now opens it within IE6 as opposed
to booting up Excel itself, which is what used to happen under Office 2000. I
assume there is a setting somewhere to change this so that it defaults to
booting excel up? If so please let me know!

Thanks in advance,
Andy Rose.

You need to go to Tools, Folder Options, File Types, choose the relevant
extension (.xls), click Advanced and make sure "Browse in same window" isn't
ticked.
