Problem openign file

I am using Windows Vista. The machine cmae with Office 2007 which I do not
care to use, I installed my office suite of preference which is Office 2000.
If I double click a Word file it opens to Word 2000 properly, however when I
do the same with an Excel file it is defaulting with Excel 2007.

I have tried rightclicking an Excel file and selecting Open With, and then
select my Excel 2000 application and click open and apply and Ok.

When I am back in explorer and double click my Excel file it will still open
to Excel 2007.

How can I fix this?

I would uninstall Office 2007, if I didn't want to use it.
