Well ignoring the fact that Excel 2003; Word 2003 are part of Office 2003
and not part of Office XP so you shouldn't be seeing Office XP listed,
Office 2003 ought to have this parameter set as it is the default setting.
If it is not set then you should run Setup in one of those Office 2003
products and re-set it.
BUT, it's odd that you do not have Office 2003 listed as only one item in
Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs. That's what I've seen on every
production and test machine I've used.
I see two possibilities.
1. You have only the Viewers of these two programs. They would then be
listed separately.
2. You have installed the programs from separate single application CDs (So
a Word 2003 product CD; and Excel 2003 product CD).
For 1. I don't know if the proposed action works. For 2. it should - I would
guess - but I have no experience of it.
