Default HELP: Excel 2007 - 2003 On Same PC

Two issues. I have Ofc Excel 2003 installed on C drive and Ofc Excel 2007.
1. When I start Excel 03 it tries to install Excel 2007. How do I prevent
that?

2. When I close Excel 2007 it prompts to save Personal.xls. If I say YES,
then the next time I open Excel 2003 Excel 2003 can't find any macros I
associated with my 2003 custom menu buttons. To remedy, I used Excel 2007 to
open Personal.xls, unhid it, SavedAs Excel 97-2003 format; but if I hide it
again in 2007 and close, 2007 prompts whether I want to save Personal.xls; if
I say YES, it defaults to saving Personal.xls in 2007 format again. Is
there any way to have a Personal.xls that associates with version 2003 and a
different Personal.xls that associates with
version 2003?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Create a Personal.xlsx specifically for 2007. For me it tries to open
Personal.xls as well, but I just say Cancel.
