Open .xls file type with office 2003 instead of 2007

[Guest]

I work at the help desk and we are testing office 2007. I have a dual
install but now I am "forced" to use the new application which takes 5 times
longer to open all my old .xls sheets.

I want to be able to change the .xls file type to open 2003 by default.
I've changed it several times but it still launches 2007.

Is there a fix?

Try re-registering Excel 2003. From Start->Run enter "c:\<your full path to
Excel 2003>\excel.exe /regserver" (no quotes, there is a space before the
slash).
