I recently had XP installed. I download .tsv and .php files from the
internet. I want Excel (Excel 2000) to open these files but it is not in the
list of programs and when I try to choose it from browse it will not add it.
I can add other programs to the list even programs that are not MS. The IT
department has tried to reload MS office but that didn't help.

I always hold down the shift key while clicking on the file. This will give
you an 'Open with' option. Even if Excel is not listed, click browse, you
should then be able to find the Excel executable (Excel.exe) and then click
'always use this program......' checkbox
