how do i open excel as an xls document from a web link instead of.

I have a web page with a link to an excel file in xls format. When I open
the document it opens in html format. How do I cause the document to open as
a true excel workbook from the web link?

This is a PC setting. If you're sharing with others, you'll have to do it on
their PCs, too.
