Excel 2007 hijacks Excel 2003

[Anonymous]

I bought a new PC that had Orifice 2007 trial. I had a
copy of Office 2003 (not installed on another PC) so put
that on instead of buying a license to continue 2007.
All was fine, clicking on an Office file, ran the 2003
version. But a few months later, Windows 7 starting launching
2007 crap instead. So I try to restablish Office 2003 as
default for opening files. To restore Word was okay.
But when I try to set file association for .XLS, I browse
to OFFICE11 directory (which is 2003) and select excel.exe
But when I open an .XLS file it still launched Excel 2007
(what is expired so demands a licence key). Same problem
with Powerpoint - I went to OFFICE11 directory, which
worked for Word, but not other applications.
This is f*cked. I am not surprised that my employer
uses OpenOffice instead of paying to be pissed off
like this.

Your fault for not uninstalling the Office 2007 trial, first.
HoopleHead!
