Change Default Program To Open Excel

[msmithtnt]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

When opening excel (2004) the default program is listed as Internet Explorer (in parallels). It seems allows me to select excel as the default program when using a right click and the proceeds to open the document. However, the next time I open the document it proceeds to launch parallels again - right clicking shows that Internet Explorer is still the default. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Select (single click) an XL file. Type CMD-i (Get Info). Under the Open
With section, choose XL, then click Change All.
