Run Office XP in preference to Office 2007

a_ominous · 2008-01-12 16:31:16

I'm looking for a way to set Office XP to be the default program to run. If I type Excel on command line, Excel 2007 is started first. I've had a look at the SYSTEM PATH and nothing there: doesn't even have Office directory in the path. Don't want to have to remove Office 2007 as I like it, but I've got software installed…

I've had a look at the SYSTEM PATH and nothing there: doesn't even have Office directory in the path. Don't want to have to remove Office 2007 as I like it, but I've got software installed for Microsoft exams which appears to start whichever Excel/Word/whatever first. And the training software doesn't register the commands I execute correctly due to interface differences between Office XP and 2007.

No problems running the 2 versions together, just want Office XP to be the first one run for the moment.

Probably a registry setting, which is fine.
Thanks
