Default Opening DBF files with Excel 2003 via Windows Explorer ?

I'm running Win XP Pro and wish to open a DBF file with Excel 2003 via
Windows Explorer (as is possible with Excel 2000/Win98SE, simply by
associating DBF files with Excel), but get an error dialog:

"This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

Having trawled the web, it seems as though the Office 2003 user settings
need amending. I've looked at the Microsoft Knowledge base and have been
unable to readily trace a step-by-step guide that also includes the
Excel/DBF association steps.

Is anyone aware of such a guide ? TIA

Regards,

Dave Purdy.
