Default Make Office 2003 default open with 2007

How can I make 2003 be the default open when you click on a .doc file. We
have 2003 and 2007 installed and it opens in 2007.

Thank you

I have to ask, is there a reason for keeping 2003, since 2007 can both open
& save plus create in the old format?

Try this;

You should specify the default version of each application by
registering it using 'Start | Run'. If you don't register the
application then the last version installed becomes the default.

(Enter the full file path and name of the program, note that
/regserver is outside the quote marks.)
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Excel.exe" /regserver
The above will register Excel 2003 as the default on most systems -
change the file path / file name as appropriate.

The above was taken from an MS doc. - origonally pertaining to earlier
versions of Office, I'm assuming it is relevent to later versions
