How can I prevent Office 2003 trail from loading

I did not realize that my new computer came with a trial version of Office
2003 when I loaded my licensed version of Office 2000 and customized it as I
had before the last one crashed.
Now every time I clickon a file, instead of opening office 2000 programs,
Windows tries to install office 2003. It doesn't ask, just installs.

How can I get rid of it.

Uninstall the trial version by clicking on Start | Control Panel
| Add/Remove Programs | Microsoft Office 2003 | Remove.

It does not show up. It probably won't unless I let it install. But it
willinstallover office 2000, which means I would have to reinstall office
2000.
A real pain, since I already have it set up with the things I want.
(many of which shold be defaults anyway, but aren't.

I need to delete or uninstall whatever link connects the files to office
2003 instead of the installed version.
