Default hyperlink to an Excel file

I have two end users, both with IE 6.0 and Excel 97.
the problem i am having is the behavior of how IE opens an
Excel file from a link, the HTML's A tag, it looks like
http:\\servername\ex\excelfile.xls
one station will open with the Excel application by it
self while the other will open the Excel within the
browser, which doesn't open my add-in that i put on the
end-users machine.
can someone tell me what caused the different behavior and
how can i change the settings?

TIA

matt
