Default Can't make Excel default program, not on list.

Excel is listed in Start/All Programs, but when if I click on a file and
choose "open with", Excel is not on the list for .xls.

If I download the file and save it, then open Excel and open the file, no
problem.

If I "browse" for programs to open that file type, Excel is not listed.

Under Tools, Options, General, is "Ignore other applications" ticked? If so,
untick.
