Excel 2003 with Excel 2007

[Guest]

Hi,
I work with Office 2003 and intstalled on the same computer but in a
different folder only Excel 2007. Now my Excel files open with Excel 2007 by
default and I would like to change it back to 2003 and to use Excel 2007 only
when I decide to.
I've tried to solve the problem through Folder Options/File Types/Change
"Opens with" but nothing hapenned.
Can you help?
Thank you in advance.

Easy way? Uninstall 2003, then re-install it, it will become the default.

I'd try reregistering xl2003:

Close excel (all versions)
windows start button|Run
type your path to excel2003:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" /unregserver
and hit enter
then
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" /regserver
and hit enter.

The last version installed or registered should be the default program.
