File type on Open document window

[Guest]

At this time the "Files of type:" default in Excel is "All Microsoft Excel Files. I would like to change the default to "Micorsoft Excel Files". The reason for this is that I only want Excel files opening not Excel files and Web files

Thanks for the help.

I think excel (office?) likes to help. It'll remember the last setting until
you change it.

You could "prime the pump" by building a macro to display just *.xls files, but
I've found it easier to just type:

*.xls
as the filename
and hit enter.

Not quite what you wanted, but maybe good enough???
