    Angry Associating .xls files with Excel 2003 when Excel 2007 is installed

    I have both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 installed in Win XP.

    I want to continue to have all Excel .xls files be associated with Excel
    2003 for opening by double-click on the file, and have only the other
    Excel-2007-specific files, like .xlsx, associated with Excel 2007, opening
    in Excel 2007 by double click.

    But all of them insist on opening in Excel 2007. How do I stop this?

    The Windows XP Folder Options / Open With.. method won't let me change
    the file association for .xls back to Excel11. It refuses to add Excel11 back
    in as a choice after I browse to it.

    How do I edit the Registry to overcome this -- for Excel and for all the
    other Office 2007 programs (Word, PowerPoint, Access)?
