| Guest | Forced association with Office 2007 I use Vista. I have Office 2003 (Word and Excel) installed. I can launch these programs and then open a file. But when I double click to open a file directly from within the directory, .doc and .xls are now launching an installation of Office 2007--installation process begins and I have to cancel it. Somehow MS got it so that the extensions are associated with the new versions. How do I get it back so that the 2003 programs launch, not the nonexistent 2007 Office that I DON'T want installed?. |
