opening files in excel 2003 when 2007 is installed
 

You will have to change the registered version back to 2003

This fix below usually works to disable Excel 12(2007)

Since 2007 has decided it wants to be the default, de-register 2007 and
re-register 2003

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

StartRun "C:\yourpathto2007\excel.exe" /unregserver

See the space between exe and /unregserver.

Then register 2003

StartRun "C:\yourpathto2003\excel.exe" /regserver

This process should make Excel 2002 the default for opening files.
